To find the mass of the solution, we need to determine the mass of the solute and add it to the mass of the water.

Mass of solute = 12.7% x 11.0 g of water = 1.397 g

Mass of solution = 1.397 g + 11.0 g = 12.397 g

Therefore, the mass of the solution is 12.397 g or 72.2 g (rounded to one decimal place). The correct answer is choice C.
