To calculate the average weight of the kittens, you need to sum the weights and then divide by the number of kittens.

Here are the weights of the kittens:

1.05, 1.2, 1.15, 1.2, 1.4

First, we sum these weights:

1.05 + 1.2 + 1.15 + 1.2 + 1.4 = 6.1

Now, divide the total weight by the number of kittens, which is 5:

Average weight = Total weight / Number of kittens = 6.1 / 5 = 1.22

Thus, the average weight of the kittens, rounded to two decimal places, is approximately 1.22 pounds.

Since this value is not listed in the options provided, let's round to one decimal place. Therefore, the average weight rounds to 1.2 pounds.

So, the correct response is: 1.2
