Let's answer the question in steps...

GIVEN: 1 machine produces 16 golf balls in 5 minutes.
So, 1 machine produces 16/5 golf balls in 1 minute [if we have 1/5 the time, then the output is 1/5 as much]
So, 5 machines produce 16 golf balls in 1 minute [if we have 5 times the number of machines, then the output is 5 times as much]
So, 10 machines produce 32 golf balls in 1 minute [if we double the number of machines, then the output is doubled]

Answer: D

Cheers,
Brent
