Correct answer: E

To convert the binary number 1011.1101 to decimal, split it into integer and fractional parts.

Integer part: 1011₂ = 1×2³ + 0×2² + 1×2¹ + 1×2⁰ = 8 + 0 + 2 + 1 = 11₁₀.

Fractional part: .1101₂ = 1×2⁻¹ + 1×2⁻² + 0×2⁻³ + 1×2⁻⁴ = 0.5 + 0.25 + 0 + 0.0625 = 0.8125₁₀.

Total: 11 + 0.8125 = 11.8125₁₀.

None of the given options (A: 11.75, B: 12.125, C: 13.5) match this value. Therefore, the correct answer is E: None of the above.
