To convert pounds to ounces, we use the conversion factor that 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces.
First, we need to convert \( 2 \frac{3}{4} \) pounds to a fraction:
- Convert \( \frac{3}{4} \) to a decimal: \( 2 \frac{3}{4} = 2 + 0.75 = 2.75 \) pounds.
Now, we calculate the total ounces:
\[
2.75 \text{ pounds} \times 16 \text{ ounces per pound} = 44 \text{ ounces}
\]
Thus, Ravi buys **44 ounces** of flour. Therefore, the correct answer is:
**D. 44 ounces**.
