Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
First, convert all measurements to ounces: 1 cup of coffee = 8 oz, 1/2 cup of juice = 4 oz, and three 8-oz glasses of water = 24 oz. Total = 8 + 4 + 24 = 36 oz. Then, convert ounces to liters: 36 oz * 0.0295735 = 1.06465 liters, which rounds to approximately 1.08 liters.
