    option (B) 0.833

    Explanation:

    Data provided in the question:

    Actual number of workstations that will be used on an assembly line = 6

    Cycle time of the line = 5 minutes

    Sum of all that tasks required on the line = 25 minutes

    Now,

    Resulting line's Efficiency

    = [ Sum of all task times ] : [ Actual number of workstations * cycle time ]

    or

    Resulting line's Efficiency = 25 minutes : [6 * 5 minutes]

    = 0.833

    Hence,

    The answer is option (B) 0.833
