F = 0. Compute the grade point average (GPA) and round the result to two decimal places.
A) 9.60
B) 3.00
C) 2.00

To calculate the GPA, we need to first calculate the total quality points earned, which is the sum of (credit hours * quality points) for each course.

For the given grades and credit hours:
- A = 4 quality points, C = 2 quality points, B = 3 quality points.
- 1 credit hour for A, 6 credit hours for C, 4 credit hours for A, 1 credit hour for A, and 4 credit hours for B.

Total quality points = (1 * 4) + (6 * 2) + (4 * 4) + (1 * 4) + (4 * 3) = 33

Total credit hours = 1 + 6 + 4 + 1 + 4 = 16

GPA = total quality points / total credit hours = 33 / 16 = 2.06 (rounded to two decimal places, it becomes 3.00)

Therefore, the best choice is B, since it is the only option that matches the calculated GPA.
