Wait, so the article on NatuRun has 147,000 hits, but only 7,000 pageviews? That's some serious click-bait action going on there! I'm going to go with option C just to see what kind of wild shenanigans are happening on these science websites.

Yeah, that's why there are more hits than pageviews on NatuRun.

I think the hits are generated from users clicking the link to the original article on SciFun.

Okay, let me think this through. 7,000 pageviews on NatuRun, 15% of that is 1,050 clicks to the original article on SciFun. Yep, option B is the way to go.

This is a tricky one. I'm going to go with option C, 147,000 hits, since that's the total number of hits on the NatuRun article. Gotta love those science and tech websites, they really know how to generate traffic!

Hmm, let's see. 7,000 pageviews on NatuRun and 15% of those resulted in clicks to the original article on SciFun. Sounds like option B, 1,050 hits, is the right answer.

Okay, so we have an article from SciFun that's reproduced on NatuRun. The key is to figure out how many hits the original article on SciFun gets from the NatuRun link. I'm going to go with option D, 22,050 hits.
