Option I: Add 11.1 pounds to 32.7 to get 43.8 pounds. Hence if we add more than 11 pounds, the bag may or may not be rejected.
Option II: Add 32.7 pounds to 32.7 to get 65.4 pounds. Hence, if we add more than 32.7 pounds, the bag is definitely rejected.
Option III: Add 13 pounds to 32.7 to get 45.7 pounds.
Hence if we add less than 13 pounds, the bag may or may not be rejected. Hence, only the option II satisfies the given statement.
Thus, the correct option is $B$.
Option II: Add 32.7 pounds to 32.7 to get 65.4 pounds. Hence, if we add more than 32.7 pounds, the bag is definitely rejected.
Option III: Add 13 pounds to 32.7 to get 45.7 pounds.
Hence if we add less than 13 pounds, the bag may or may not be rejected. Hence, only the option II satisfies the given statement.
Thus, the correct option is $B$.
