The answer must be 'a)' because the law (federal) says you must take a 15 minute break every 4 hours.
However, 'b)' could also be correct if you are allowed a 1 hour lunch break or two half hour breaks etc.

Divide 40 hours by 5 days and you realize the person has to work 8 hours a day. The Fair Labor Law requires a person have at least 30 minutes for lunch but they could also have a 60 minute lunch. SO ....... A is correct if they have a 30 minute lunch ........B is correct if they have a 60 minute lunch
