The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Explanation:
Calculation for Column A (Number of Posts Needed):
To find the number of posts needed for a 144-foot fence with posts placed 12 feet apart:
\(\text{Number of gaps} = \frac{144}{12} = 12\)
Since we need one additional post at each end, the total number of posts required is:
\(\text{Total Posts} = 12 + 1 = 13\)
Comparison with Column B:
Column B has 12 Posts.
Conclusion:
The number of posts needed (Column A) is greater than the number of posts in Column B.
So, the correct answer is option A.
