Best Answer Explained in Below-:

The question presents a scenario where a farmer has 17 hens and states that "all but 9 died." This phrase is crucial to understanding the problem.

When we say "all but 9," it means that every hen except for 9 has died. To clarify, let's break it down:

- The farmer starts with a total of 17 hens.
- If all but 9 of them have died, it indicates that 9 hens are still alive.
- The word "but" here creates a contrast, signifying that while most of the hens are no longer alive, 9 hens have survived the situation.

Thus, if we calculate the total number of hens that died, we would subtract the number of living hens (9) from the total number (17). This gives us:

17 - 9 = 8 hens that died.

However, the critical point is that the question directly asks how many hens are still alive, which we found to be 9.

Therefore, the correct answer is **B) 9**, as this reflects the number of hens that survived.
