A. 2 roses
B. 3 roses
C. 9 roses
D. 13 roses

Answer 1

To determine the correct answer, we can start by setting up an equation. Chelsea has 11 more daisies than roses, so if she has 12 roses now, she must have had 12 - 11 = <<12-11=1>>1 rose before buying more. Since she started with 14 daisies, she must have bought 14 - 1 = <<14-1=13>>13 roses.

Therefore, the correct answer is D. Chelsea bought 13 roses.
