A)The quantity in Column A is greater.

Answer is B.

Let Pablo Drinks = x mugs of coffee
Then Diego drinks = 1.5x mugs of coffee
Lilly drinks = 2x+2x= 4x mugs of coffee

Quantity A = Diego drinks in 5 years = 1.5x * 5 = 7.5x
Quantity B = Lilly and Pablo in 2 years = 2x + 8x = 10x

Hence quantity B is greater.

Let Pablo drink 100lts of coffee per year
So, Diego drinks 150lts of coffee per year
Lily drinks 400lts of coffee per year

Col. A: (5)(150)=750
Col. B: (2)(400+100)=1000

Hence, option B
