B Correct answer
Explanation

Hewlett-Packard was indeed named by a coin toss between founders Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard in 1939 - heads meant 'Hewlett-Packard', tails would have been 'Packard-Hewlett'. This origin story is well-documented in Silicon Valley history. The other companies do not have this naming story.
