Using the regression formula: Predicted College GPA = slope(high school GPA) + intercept.
Substituting the values given: 
Predicted College GPA = 0.704(3.2) + 0.719 = 2.97 (rounded to two decimal places).
Therefore, the predicted college GPA for a student whose current high school GPA is 3.2 would be 2.97, which is option B.
