The answer is B) > 225 because 5/9 of Willow's books are mysteries. To find out how many books are mysteries, you can multiply the total number of books by the fraction that represents the proportion of mysteries.

(5/9) x 225 = 125

Therefore, there are 125 mystery books, which is greater than the total number of books (225).
