Answer:

B

Explanation:

since it's multiplication the largest result is the largest integer you have times the second largest integer you have(or itself but not in this case) and the smallest result is the smallest integer you have times the second smallest integer.

so 15 (the smallest result) should be dividable by the smallest integer and 200 (the largest result) should be dividable by the largest integer and if you look at the choices you can see it must be B
