To find the total earnings from tacos, we first need to calculate the total number of tacos sold.
1. **Calculate the total number of tacos:**
\[
\text{Total tacos} = 11,321 \, (\text{carne asada}) + 13,132 \, (\text{chicken}) + 8,982 \, (\text{corneda's})
\]
\[
\text{Total tacos} = 11,321 + 13,132 + 8,982 = 33,435
\]
2. **Calculate the total earnings:**
\[
\text{Total earnings} = \text{Total tacos} \times \text{price per taco} = 33,435 \times 3.89
\]
We can estimate this calculation by rounding the price to $4 for an easier computation:
\[
\text{Estimated total earnings} \approx 33,435 \times 4 = 133,740
\]
Now, comparing this estimate to the provided options, the closest value is **B. 130,000**.
Thus, the best estimate of their total earnings from tacos is **B. 130,000**.
