To determine which plan is least expensive per year, we can calculate the unit price (cost per year) for each subscription option.

  1. One Year Plan:

    • Cost: $24.97
    • Unit Price: \( \frac{24.97}{1} = 24.97 \) per year
  2. Two Year Plan:

    • Cost: $45.94
    • Unit Price: \( \frac{45.94}{2} = 22.97 \) per year
  3. Three Year Plan:

    • Cost: $74.91
    • Unit Price: \( \frac{74.91}{3} \approx 24.97 \) per year

Now let's compare the unit prices:

  • One year: $24.97 per year
  • Two years: $22.97 per year
  • Three years: approximately $24.97 per year

The least expensive plan per year is the two-year plan at $22.97 per year.

The correct response to this problem would not be explicitly listed in your options, but based on the calculations, it is clear that the two-year plan, at $45.94 is the least expensive option for a subscription per year.
