Answer:

 B.  4200

Step-by-step explanation:

A suitable calculator can add the terms for you. (See attached)

__

The first term is 69, and the common difference is 75-69 = 6. The general term is ...

  an = a1 +d(n -1)

  an = 69 +6(n -1)

Then the 28th term is ...

  a28 = 69 +6(27) = 231

The average term is (a28 +a1)/2 = (231 +69)/2 = 150.

The sum is the number of terms multiplied by the average term:

  sum = 28×150= 4200
