Hi, I don't understand why the official answer is B. ( source kmf 170).
7+5 = 12, Where both 7 and 5 are primes, where 7 and 5 < 8.
-29+41= 12. where both are also primes but 41>8. I picked answer D.

the question tells you to have
a+b
which means that both are positive. Prime numbers are only positive
you cannot subtract. That's why you picked up it wrong
