Final answer:

The question cites two different contexts: one from history about Browning's study of a 500-man unit and one from literature discussing 'One Hundred Years of Solitude,' which tracks six generations of the Buendía family.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question appears to be a mix-up of two separate subjects. The first part refers to a historical unit, possibly during World War 2, where a specific number of men served. Historian Christopher Browning wrote about a German police unit 101, which had around 500 men. Browning was able to analyze the testimonies of 210 of these men. The correct answer to that part of the question, if it referred to Browning's study, would be 'b) 500, 210', although none of the options provided match the actual data.

The second part of the question alludes to Gabriel Garcia Marquez's novel 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' which indeed covers seven generations of the Buendía family. The correct choice related to this literary reference is not provided as an answer (A 5, B 6), but the factually accurate answer would be 'B 6', since the book tracks six generations of the Buendía family.
