To find the approximate probability of pulling a blue skittle, we need to divide the number of blue skittles by the total number of skittles in the bag.

According to the table, there are 45 blue skittles out of a total of 215 skittles in the bag.

So, the probability of pulling a blue skittle is:

45/215 ≈ 0.2093 ≈ 0.21 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)

Therefore, the answer is B) 0.21.
