Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Convert Sophia's quarts to cups

Since 1 quart = 4 cups, Sophia brought 2 quarts, so the number of cups she brought is $2\times4 = 8$ cups.

Step2: Convert Charlie's pints to cups

Since 1 pint = 2 cups, Charlie brought 4 pints, so the number of cups he brought is $4\times2=8$ cups.

Step3: Calculate total cups

Add the cups brought by Sophia and Charlie: $8 + 8=16$ cups.

Answer:

C. 16 cups
