[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The total number of parts in the extended ratio is 2+5+9 = <<2+5+9=16>>16.

To find the number of cups of onion needed, we can first find the fraction of the ratio that represents onion: 5/16.
Then multiply that fraction by the total number of cups of salsa: 5/16 * 96 = 30
Therefore, 30 cups of onion are needed to make 96 cups of salsa.
Answer: C. 30.
