A136.74
B149.46
C181.26
D197.16

Explanation

If one-sixth of a number is 53, the full number is 53 × 6 = 318. To find 57% of 318, multiply 0.57 × 318 = 181.26. A quick sanity check helps: 57% is a little over half, and half of 318 is 159, so the answer must sit somewhat above 159 — option C at 181.26 fits, while A (136.74) is too low and D (197.16) too high. Option B (149.46) is roughly 47%, not 57%. Hence the answer is 181.26, option C.
