The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Set up an equation from the Arts data.
Arts makes up 23% of the whole university, and we are told Arts has 1049 students, so \( 0.23x = 1049 \), where x is the total strength.

Step 2: Solve for x.
\( x = \frac{1049}{0.23} \approx 4560 \).

Step 3: Check this against the options.
4650, 4640 and 4450 do not equal \( 1049/0.23 \), so they are wrong; only 4560 matches.

Final Answer:
The University has about 4560 students in total. \[ \boxed{4560} \]
