To solve for base, we need to isolate it in the equation. Using cross multiplication, we have:

11ebb7d6_6ddf_cd3f_ad4c_0948a9028244_TB8285_11 of barrels = base * 62 barrels

Dividing both sides by 62, we get:

base = 11ebb7d6_6ddf_cd3f_ad4c_0948a9028244_TB8285_11 of barrels / 62 barrels 
base = 69.139354839...

Rounding to the nearest hundredth, we get:
base = 69.14

Therefore, the best choice is C. To solve for the base, we need to use the formula for exponential growth:
final amount = initial amount x base^(time)
We know that the initial amount is 1 (since we are dealing with a percentage increase) and the final amount is 62. The time is 11. Therefore, we can plug in these values and solve for the base:
62 = 1 x base^(11)
62 = base^11
Take the 11th root of both sides:
11th root of 62 = base
Base ≈ 1.6914
Rounding to the nearest hundredth, we get the base = 1.69, which is closest to choice C (69.14).
