To find the total weight of the carton holding 42 erasers, each weighing 3.6 ounces, we can use the following formula:
\[
\text{Total Weight} = \text{Number of Erasers} \times \text{Weight per Eraser}
\]
Plugging in the values:
\[
\text{Total Weight} = 42 \text{ erasers} \times 3.6 \text{ ounces per eraser}
\]
Calculating that:
\[
\text{Total Weight} = 42 \times 3.6 = 151.2 \text{ ounces}
\]
Therefore, the total weight of the carton is \(151.2\) ounces.
The correct answer is \( \text{D) } 151.2 \text{ ounces} \).
