GPT 3.5 · Answer

To find Pablo's net income, we need to subtract his expenses from his earnings.

First, we subtract the cost of supplies: $284 - $46 = $238

Then, we subtract the payment to his son: $238 - $25 = $213

Thus, Pablo's net income for this past weekend was $213, so the correct answer is B. $213
