To find the average amount she spent for each book, we first need to calculate the total amount spent on books and the total number of books purchased.
Total amount spent = (5 x $12.00) + (6 x $10.00) + (4 x $8.00) = $60.00 + $60.00 + $32.00 = $152.00
Total number of books = 5 + 6 + 4 = 15 books
Average amount spent per book = Total amount spent / Total number of books = $152.00 / 15 = $10.13
Therefore, the correct answer is not provided in the options given. The average amount she spent for each book is $10.13.
