C Correct answer
Explanation

To make bouquets with the same number of each color, we need to find how many bouquets can be made. This means finding the greatest number that divides both 16 and 24. GCD(16, 24) = 8 (16 = 8 × 2, 24 = 8 × 3). So 8 bouquets can be made, with 2 pink and 3 yellow flowers in each. Option C is correct.
