First, we need to convert 0.11 milliliters to liters:
0.11 milliliters = 0.00011 liters

Next, we need to calculate how many seconds are in one day:
24 hours/day x 60 minutes/hour x 60 seconds/minute = 86,400 seconds/day

Now, we can calculate how many times the faucet drips in one day:
86,400 seconds/day ÷ 4 seconds/drip = 21,600 drips/day

Finally, we can calculate how much water is wasted in one day:
21,600 drips/day x 0.00011 liters/drip = 2.38 liters/day

Therefore, the best choice is C) 2.38 liters because it is the closest to our calculated answer.
