To compare the given quantities with the amount of gasoline in a small car with a full tank (13 gallons), we need to convert all the given quantities to gallons.

A) 450 mL = 0.118 gallons (approx.)
B) 50 L = 13.208 gallons (approx.)
C) 85 μL = 0.000022 gallons (approx.)
D) 12 kL = 3170 gallons (approx.)
E) 3.5 × 10^12 dL = 92426 million gallons (approx.)

Among the given choices, option B (50 L) is closest to 13 gallons as it is approximately equal to 13.208 gallons. Therefore, the answer is B.
