B) 231
To get the answer, you first need to figure out how many men are in the book club:

Multiply the total number of members (315) by the fraction of members that are men (4/15)
(4/15) * 315
Multiply 4 by 315, and then divide by 15.
This will give you the number of men (84)

Then you need to figure out how many women there are:

Subtract the number of men (84) from the total number of members (315)
315 total members - 84 male members = 231 female members

There are 231 female members in the book club. This is found by first calculating that there are 84 male members, then subtracting that from the total of 315 members. Therefore, option B (231) is the correct answer.
