The question is ambiguous.
A is right if the second hour is in terms of the original amount (16 grams). That is not how it should be done, but there is nothing in the problem restricting us from doing it that way.
B is right the way most people would do the problem. I would say you should accept this as the right answer. The 4.5% is taken away from what was left after the first hour. I would do it that way left to my own devices.
C. The % conversions are not correct. Those conversions are 35% and 45%
C is not even in contention for being right.

Answer:
Eight less than four times a number is equal to two times the difference of double that same number decreased by three.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is:
4x−8=2(2x−3)
We will try to translate the given equation in English.
We can see that the variable used is only one. On the left hand side of the equation 8 is being subtracted from 4 times of the variable and on the right hand side 3 is being subtracted from 2 times of variable and then being multiplied by two.
From the given option, correct answer is:
Eight less than four times a number is equal to two times the difference of double that same number decreased by three.
