The answer is option B.
Because the number of hours Benjamin worked is 2hrs and 10min which is 130 minutes
The number of hours Jeremey worked is 3 hrs and 36min which is 216 minutes
216>130 hence option B.

We aren't told that these times fall on the same day.
Perhaps Benjamin worked from 9:47 AM TUESDAY until 12:11 PM FRIDAY (over 72 hours!)
Likewise, it's possible that Jeremy worked from 9:11 AM MONDAY until 12:47 PM SATURDAY. (over 120 hours!)
Given this, I'd say the answer is
Show: ::
D
