Choice B is correct. It's given that the number of students enrolled in an interior design program this year is $147$ % of last year's number, which is $200. 147$ % of $200$ can be expressed as $\dfrac{147}{100}(200)$ , or $(1.47)$$(200)$ , which is equivalent to $294$ . Therefore, $294$ students are enrolled in the interior design program this year.

Choice A is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
