B
1.711
C
2.064
D
None of these.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The t value for 95% confidence with df = 9 is t = 2.262.

Detailed explanation-2: -If the level of confidence is 99%, this means that we are 99% confident that the interval contains the population mean, µ. The corresponding z-scores are ± 2.575. The difference between the point estimate and the actual population parameter value is called the sampling error.
