To find the semester grade point average, we need to first convert each grade to a numerical value using the standard 4.0 scale. A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, D = 1.0, F = 0.0.

Mathematics = 2.0 x 2 = 4.0 
English = 1.0 x 1 = 1.0 
History = 2.0 x 3 = 6.0 
Geography = 1.0 x 3 = 3.0 
Biology = 3.0 x 3 = 9.0

To find the total grade points, we add up all of the individual grade points:
4.0 + 1.0 + 6.0 + 3.0 + 9.0 = 23.0

To find the GPA, we divide the total grade points by the total number of credits:
23.0 / 12 = 1.92

Therefore, the student's semester GPA is 1.92, which is closest to choice C) 1.92.
