Using proportions, it is found that the number of islands that each member will have to visit is given by:

c. 19 islands.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, there are 684 islands, and 36 members, hence the number of islands per member is given by:

n = 684/36 = 19.

Which means that option c is correct.
