1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 since each puppet has the same number of blue buttons and red buttons. so if we assume he allotted one red and one blue button for every puppet he can make 16 pupets as he have only 16 red button.

Ms. Booth can make finger puppets using her available buttons equally, which requires finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 16 and 24. The GCD allows Ms. Booth to produce 1, 2, 4, and 8 puppets with the buttons she has. Therefore, the chosen multiple-choice option is D. 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, or 24.
