Answer:

Option C) Mrs. Sampson needs to use 1/4 cup of milk

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If Mrs. Sampson has only 4 tablespoons of butter, then the amounts of the ingredients to be used will be half (50%) of the recipe

so

sugar ----> 2/2=1 cup of sugar

butter ---> 8/2=4 tablespoons of butter

milk ---> (1/2)/2=1/4 cup of milk

baking cocoa ---> (1/3)/2=1/6 cup of baking cocoa

oats ----> 3/2=1.5 cups of oats

therefore

Mrs. Sampson needs to use 1/4 cup of milk.
