First find the total cost:
76.92 + 150.66 + 242.15 + 123.36 + 260.47 = 853.56.

She has 708, so she is over by 853.56 − 708 = 145.56. She must remove at least $145.56 of expenses. The items costing at least that are Catering ($150.66), Musicians ($242.15), and Venue ($260.47). The cheapest of these is Catering.

Answer: c. Catering.
