Answer: C) 133

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the sample size is given by :-

n=(\dfrac{z^*\cdot\sigma}{E})^2

, where z* = Critical z-value

\sigma = Population standard deviation for prior study.

E= Margin of error.

As per given , we have

\sigma=$35

E= 5

The critical z-value for 90% confidence level is 1.645.

Substitute al;l the value sin the above formula  , we get

n=(\dfrac{1.645\times 35}{5})^2

n=(\dfrac{57.575}{5})^2

n=(11.515)^2

n=132.595225\approx133

Hence, the minimum sample size needed is 133.

Thus , the correct answer is : C) 133
