To find out how much Ms. Tanaka will earn for selling 12 televisions, we can use the formula provided:

\[ \text{Earnings} = 2,500 + 100t \]

where $ t $ is the number of televisions sold. Plugging in $ t = 12 $:

\[ \text{Earnings} = 2,500 + 100 \times 12 \]

Calculating the multiplication first:

\[ 100 \times 12 = 1,200 \]

Now, adding this to the base salary:

\[ \text{Earnings} = 2,500 + 1,200 = 3,700 \]

Therefore, Ms. Tanaka will earn $3,700 for selling 12 televisions this month.

The correct response is:

$3,700
