To determine how many 4-pint containers Wayne can fill with the remaining milk, we first need to calculate the amount of milk left after the loss.
Wayne initially had 503 pints of milk and lost 15 pints while processing. We can calculate the remaining amount of milk as follows:
\[
\text{Remaining milk} = \text{Initial amount} - \text{Lost amount}
\]
\[
\text{Remaining milk} = 503 \, \text{pints} - 15 \, \text{pints} = 488 \, \text{pints}
\]
Next, we need to determine how many 4-pint containers can be filled with the remaining 488 pints. We do this by dividing the remaining milk by the size of each container:
\[
\text{Number of containers} = \frac{\text{Remaining milk}}{\text{Container size}}
\]
\[
\text{Number of containers} = \frac{488 \, \text{pints}}{4 \, \text{pints/container}} = 122 \, \text{containers}
\]
Thus, Wayne can make **122** containers with the remaining milk.
The correct answer is **B. 122**.
