To find the unit price for the yogurt and applesauce, we first need to calculate the price per container for each item.

**For yogurt:**
- Price for 6 containers of yogurt = $4.29
- Unit price = Total price / Number of containers = $4.29 / 6 = $0.715 per container

**For applesauce:**
- Price for 8 containers of applesauce = $3.39
- Unit price = Total price / Number of containers = $3.39 / 8 = $0.42375 per container

Now, we calculate the cost for 5 containers of yogurt and 3 containers of applesauce.

**Cost of 5 containers of yogurt:**
- Cost = Number of containers × Unit price = 5 × $0.715 = $3.575

**Cost of 3 containers of applesauce:**
- Cost = Number of containers × Unit price = 3 × $0.42375 = $1.27125

Now, we add the costs together to find the total cost.

Total cost = Cost of yogurt + Cost of applesauce
Total cost = $3.575 + $1.27125 = $4.84625

Rounding it to two decimal places, we get $4.85.

So the answer is **b. $4.85**.
