Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. purchases add up to.
when we talk about totaling a value, we use "add up to" instead of "add from" or "add out."
"Add up to" is a phrasal verb that means to reach a total amount when different values are combined.
In the given sentence, it refers to the total of Mrs. Lakshmi’s purchases equaling ₹2,650.
Example: Her grocery expenses add up to ₹5,000 every month.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
