The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The caffeine content in a 10-ounce mug of percolated coffee is approximately 100 milligrams. So, two 10-ounce mugs would provide: \[ 2 \times 100 = 200 \, \text{milligrams}. \] A 12-ounce cup of a caffeinated soft drink contains approximately 40 milligrams of caffeine. Thus, the total amount of caffeine consumed per day is: \[ 200 \, \text{mg} + 40 \, \text{mg} = 240 \, \text{mg}. \] The minimum amount of caffeine is therefore approximately **190 milligrams**.
Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{The correct answer is (B) 190.}} \]
