    B. The cost of tour t is at most twice the cost of the optimal tour.

    Explanation:

    You are using a polynomial time 2-approximation algorithm to find a tour t for the traveling salesman problem.

    The cost of tour t is at most twice the cost of the optimal tour

    The equation represented as Cost (t) < = 2 Cost (T)

    Where

    Cost (t) represents cost of tour t

    Cost (T) represents cost of the optimal tour
