To find the probability of a junior or senior student choosing veggie topping, we need to add the number of junior and senior students who chose veggie topping, which is 46+35=81. Then, we need to divide this by the total number of junior and senior students, which is 198. So, the probability is 81/198, which when rounded to the nearest hundredth is 0.41 or 0.40, which is closest to option B (0.408).
