Answer:

B. 105 days of accrued interest

Explanation:

The purchase on Thursday, October 12th will settle on Monday, October 16th - 2 business days after trade date.  

Accrued interest on corporate bonds is based on a 30days per month/360 day year.

And interest starts accruing from the day of the last interest payment, up to, but not including, settlement.

See below for day calculation

July   30 days

August  30 days

September 30 days

October  15 days (up to but excluding settlement)

Total  105 days
