We start by restating the task: determine in which city the home delivery service is less expensive on a daily basis using the provided data.
First, I will calculate the daily cost for each city by summing two components: the fuel cost and the daily sanitization cost.
For each city, fuel cost = (average daily fuel consumption in liters) × (average fuel price per liter). Sanitization cost is given separately for each city.
- Turin: fuel = 8 L × 2.5 €/L = 20 €; sanitization = 20 €; total daily cost = 20 + 20 = 40 €.
- Florence: fuel = 15 L × 2.4 €/L = 36 €; sanitization = 10 €; total daily cost = 46 €.
- Naples: fuel = 10 L × 2.2 €/L = 22 €; sanitization = 23 €; total daily cost = 45 €.
- Milan: fuel = 10 L × 2.1 €/L = 21 €; sanitization = 20 €; total daily cost = 41 €.
- Rome: fuel = 13 L × 3.0 €/L = 39 €; sanitization = 5 €; total daily cost = 44 €.

Now, compare the total daily costs across the cities to identify the lowest figure. The totals are: Turin 40 €, Florence 46 €, Naples 45 €, Milan 41 €, Rome 44 €. The smallest value among these is 40 €, corresponding to the first city in the list.
Note about data presentation: the question text mentions an answer labeled as "c. Turin" but the answer options field is missing in the dataset provided. Nevertheless, the numeric comparison above shows Turin has the lowest daily cost, followed by Milan, Naples, Rome, and Florence in increasing order. This aligns with the provided answer tag indicating Turin as the correct choice, even though the explicit option list is not shown here.
It is important to verify units and arithmetic at each step: fuel costs are given in euros per liter and liters per day, so multiplying yields euros per day for fuel; sanitization costs are already in euros per day; adding them gives total daily expense in euros. Any error in multiplication or mixing up the sanitization figure would misstate the totals, so the per-city calculations above provide a transparent audit trail for comparison.
