Correct Option: C

Here's how to solve the problem step-by-step:

  1. Calculate the total power consumption of the appliances: Total power = 80 W + 100 W + 120 W = 300 W
  2. Convert to kilowatts (kW): 300 W / 1000 = 0.3 kW
  3. Calculate the daily energy consumption: Daily energy = 0.3 kW x 6 hours = 1.8 kWh
  4. Calculate the monthly energy consumption: Monthly energy = 1.8 kWh x 31 days = 55.8 kWh
  5. Calculate the monthly bill: Bill = 55.8 x ₦24.08 ≈ ₦1343.66
