AI explanation

To determine the number of possible systems that a customer can choose from, we need to multiply the number of choices for each component.

Number of choices for the monitor: 4 Number of choices for the keyboard: 2 Number of choices for the computer: 4 Number of choices for the printer: 3

To find the total number of possible systems, we multiply these numbers together:

Total number of possible systems = 4 * 2 * 4 * 3 = 96

Therefore, the correct answer is B) 96.
