In order to minimize one factor you maximize the other.
Hence in order to min B you max A

Max pens A can produce in 8 hours = 8*9000 = 72,000

Total pens to be produced = 100,000

Hence B needs to produce the remaining 100,000-72,000 = 28,000 pens

Total time B takes to produce 28,000 pens = 28,000/7000 = 4 hours

Hence the answer should be A.
