A game involves tossing rings onto a peg. A player gets 3 points for each ring that lands around the peg. There are 5 rings in total. In the image provided, how many rings landed on the peg and what i

From the image, there are 3 rings that have successfully landed around the peg. The other circles (labeled '2' and '3') are not around the peg.

Each ring that lands around the peg gives 3 points.
Number of rings around the peg $= 3$
Points per ring $= 3$
Total points $= 3 \text{ rings} \times 3 \text{ points/ring}$

The calculated total points are 9. This matches option (C).

The final answer is $\text{C) 9}$.
