b ( 3\frac{60}{1000} )
c ( 3\frac{69}{1000} )

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the increment

One hundredth is $0.01$. So we need to add $0.01$ to $3.059$.
$3.059 + 0.01 = 3.069$

Step2: Convert to mixed fraction

The number $3.069$ can be written as a mixed fraction. The whole number part is $3$, and the decimal part $0.069$ is $\frac{69}{1000}$ (since $0.069=\frac{69}{1000}$). So the mixed fraction is $3\frac{69}{1000}$.

Answer:

C. $3\frac{69}{1000}$
