To find out how many cookies will be made if the baker bakes 2 batches, we need to find the ratio of cookies made to batches baked.

In this case, the ratio of cookies made to batches baked is 42 cookies / 3 batches = 14 cookies per batch.

Now, we can use this ratio to calculate how many cookies will be made if the baker bakes 2 batches.

2 batches * 14 cookies per batch = 28 cookies

Therefore, the correct answer is B) 28.
