NPV :
NPV is the difference between Present value of Cash Inflows and Present value of cash outflows.

NPV = PV of Cash Inflows - PV of Cash Outflows
If NPV > 0 , Project can be accepted
NPV = 0 , Indifference point. Project can be accepted/ Rejected.
NPV < 0 , Project will be rejected.

A & B:

= NPV of Project A + NPV of Project B

= $ 1200 + $ 1000

= $ 2200

A & C:

= NPV of Project A + NPV of Project C

= $ 1200 + $ 1500

= $ 2700

B & D:

= NPV of Project B + NPV of Project D

= $ 1000 + $ 1000

= $ 2000

C & D:

= NPV of Project C + NPV of Project D

= $ 1500 + $ 1000

= $ 2500

Project A& C has higher NPV.

Hence Project A & C are selected.

Option B is correct.
