Final answer:

After 7 hours, 80mg of caffeine will remain in your body.

Step-by-step explanation:

The half-life of caffeine is 7 hours, which means that after each 7-hour period, the amount of caffeine in your body is reduced by half. Since the initial amount of caffeine you consumed is 160mg, after 7 hours, half of it will remain, which is 80mg. Therefore, the correct answer is option b) 80mg.
