Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete, as there are no options to select from.

However, a general explanation is as follows.

Given

$2\ cups = 1\ pint$

Required

Is $c = 2p$ a correct expression?

Let

$c = cups$

$p = pint$

So:

$2\ cups = 1\ pint$

becomes

$2 * c = 1 * p$

$2c = p$

Divide both sides by 2

$c =\frac{1}{2}p$

Hence:

$c = 2p$ is incorrect
