Step 1: Reflection Coefficient:
\(r=\dfrac{17}{170}=0.1\).
Step 2: Sum Rule:
\(r+a+t=1\). With \(a=0.7\): \(t=1-0.1-0.7=0.2\).
Step 3: Transmitted Energy:
\(0.2\times170=34.0\) J.
Step 4: Check the Options:
3.4 J would be \(0.02\), 11.9 J is the absorbed energy \(0.07\times170\) with a decimal slip, and 119 J is the absorbed energy \(0.7\times170\). Only 34.0 J matches the transmission coefficient.
Final Answer:
The transmitted energy is 34.0 J, option (C).
\[ \boxed{\text{(C) } 34.0\ \text{J}} \]
