The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The purity of gold is often measured in carats, where 24 carat is considered pure gold.
To convert the percentage purity to carats, use the following relationship: \[ \text{Purity in carats} = \left( \frac{\text{Purity percentage}}{100} \right) \times 24 \] Given that the purity is 58.33%, we calculate the carat equivalent as: \[ \left( \frac{58.33}{100} \right) \times 24 = 14 \, \text{carat} \]
Thus, the gold ring's purity can be alternatively shown as 14 carat.

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).
