To find the rank of the glass marked "Bessie," we need to find the position of her score when the scores are arranged in order from smallest to largest. First, we can put all the scores in order:

$\begin{array}{|c|c|c|}
\hline \text { Brand A } & \text { Brand B } & \text { Brand C } \
\hline 4.65 & 4.65 & 4.69 \
\hline 4.65 & 4.67 & 4.69 \
\hline 4.68 & 4.68 & 4.70 \
\hline 4.69 & 4.69 & 4.71 \
\hline 4.71 & 4.70 & 4.72 \
\hline
\end{array}$

Then, we can see that Bessie's score of 4.69 falls in between the fourth and fifth value. Therefore, her rank is 4.5.

As for the best choice(s), we cannot determine that without more information about the context or criteria for what constitutes a "good" choice. The question only asks for the rank of Bessie's score, so there is no need to evaluate the choices further.
