Answer:

18

Explanation:

firstly I think it's a mathematical question. if I'm wrong, correct me in the comment section.

the bottling plant produces 5 brands of which 4 have 2 varieties.

that's 4x2= 8 varieties. the fifth one has only one variety, so +1 to the existing 8 varieties. So the varieties are 9 which are then available in 2 sizes.

Considering each size as different variety. it gets to 9*2 = 18
