We are given a rectangle whose width is split into equal segments. Because the segments have equal widths, and each line starts and ends at the same height as the other, we know the line that spans more segments will be the longer one.
By looking at the diagram, we see that segment $B F$ spans 3 of the segments while segment $E A$ spans 4 of the segments. There is no further math needed; $E A$ must be longer than $B F$.
The correct answer is (B).
