(C) The $r$-th term of the series is given by $T_r = \frac{1}{1 + 2 + 3 + \dots + r} = \frac{1}{\frac{r(r+1)}{2}} = \frac{2}{r(r+1)}$.The sum of $10$ terms is $S_{10} = \sum_{r=1}^{10} T_r = 2 \sum_{r=1}^{10} \frac{1}{r(r+1)}$.Using partial fractions,$\frac{1}{r(r+1)} = \frac{1}{r} - \frac{1}{r+1}$.Thus,$S_{10} = 2 \sum_{r=1}^{10} \left( \frac{1}{r} - \frac{1}{r+1} \right)$.Expanding the sum: $S_{10} = 2 \left[ (1 - \frac{1}{2}) + (\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3}) + \dots + (\frac{1}{10} - \frac{1}{11}) \right]$.This is a telescoping series,so $S_{10} = 2 \left( 1 - \frac{1}{11} \right) = 2 \left( \frac{10}{11} \right) = \frac{20}{11}$.

The sum of the series $1 + \frac{1}{1 + 2} + \frac{1}{1 + 2 + 3} + \dots$ up to $10$ terms is:
