First, we need to calculate Indra's hourly rate based on her salary and workweek:

$58,750 / 52 weeks / 45 hours per week = $27.24 per hour

Next, we need to calculate her on-call pay for the month:

$27.24 per hour x 8 hours = $217.92

Now we can calculate her gross pay for a biweekly pay period that includes on-call time:

Regular biweekly pay = $58,750 / 26 pay periods = $2,259.62
Gross pay with on-call time = $2,259.62 + $217.92 = $2,477.54

Therefore, the closest answer is C: $2,460.47.
