C 2.5 liters

Tomato Juice has 90% water and 10% tomato
Tomato puree has 20% water and 80% tomato
So 20 liter of tomato juice has 20*90/100=18 liters of water and 2 liters of tomato.
As tomato puree has 80% content of tomato, so 2 liters of tomato from 20 liter juice corresponds to 80% so tomato purees that can be obtained=100*2/80=2.5
