To determine which subscription plan is least expensive per year, we can calculate the unit price for each plan by dividing the total cost by the number of years.

  1. One-Year Plan: \[ \text{Cost per year} = \frac{24.97}{1} = 24.97 \]

  2. Two-Year Plan: \[ \text{Cost per year} = \frac{45.94}{2} = 22.97 \]

  3. Three-Year Plan: \[ \text{Cost per year} = \frac{74.91}{3} = 24.97 \]

Now, let's summarize the costs per year for each plan:

  • One-Year Plan: $24.97
  • Two-Year Plan: $22.97
  • Three-Year Plan: $24.97

The least expensive option per year is the Two-Year Plan at $22.97 per year.

Thus, the correct response is: $45.94 for two years.
