Correct Answer: C
Rationale

Choice C is correct. It’s given that the equation 3x+5y=32 represents the situation where Keenan filled x small jars and y large jars with all the vegetable broth he made, which was 32 cups. Therefore, 3x represents the total number of cups of vegetable broth in the small jars and 5y represents the total number of cups of vegetable broth in the large jars. 

Choice A is incorrect. The number of large jars Keenan filled is represented by y, not 5y.

Choice B is incorrect. The number of small jars Keenan filled is represented by x, not 5y.

Choice D is incorrect. The total number of cups of vegetable broth in the small jars is represented by 3x, not 5y.
