Explanation:

Step1: Subtract the fractions

To find out how much more Benni saw than Maria, we subtract the fraction Maria saw from the fraction Benni saw.
$$\frac{5}{10}-\frac{2}{10}$$

Step2: Calculate the result

When subtracting fractions with the same denominator, we subtract the numerators.
$$\frac{5 - 2}{10}=\frac{3}{10}$$

Answer:

B. $\frac{3}{10}$
