Answer:

Option: D is the correct answer.

D) In order to find out how much she paid per apple

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of 7 apples that Molli buy is:  $ 3.96

Now,  Molli divided $3.96 by 7.

i.e. she wants to calculate the cost of 1 apple.

Since the unit rate is calculated as the ratio of the total amount to the number of items.

Here also she divided the total amount that was mentioned in the receipt to the total numbers of apples she buy and that would give her the cost of 1 apple.

           Hence, the answer is: Option: D
