As we have learnt,

\mathrm{\mathrm{\pi}=C R T}

Now,

\begin{aligned} &\mathrm{C=\frac{1.46}{M \times 0.1}=\frac{14.6}{M}} \\ &\pi=2.42 \times 10^{-3} \text { bar } \\ &\mathrm{R=0.083 \text { L~Bar } \mathrm{mol}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}} \\ &\mathrm{T=300 \mathrm{~K} }\end{aligned}

Putting these values in the formula, we have

\begin{aligned} &\mathrm{2.42 \times 10^{-3}=\frac{14.6}{M} \times 0.083 \times 300} \\ & \mathrm{M=\frac{363.54}{2.42 \times 10^{-3}}=150223.14} \\ &\mathrm{M=15.02 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{~g}} \end{aligned}

Hence, the correct answer is 15.
