[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the average score for each bowler, we need to add up all their scores and divide by the number of games played.

Lauren's total score = 172 + 153 + 112 + 145 + 200 = 782
Lauren's average score = 782 / 5 = 156.4

Larry's total score = 175 + 225 + 155 + 110 + 185 = 850
Larry's average score = 850 / 5 = 170

Therefore, Larry has the best bowling average.

Option B: Larry has the best bowling average. (Enter 2)
