B Correct answer
Explanation

When boiling eggs, you typically place all eggs in the same pot of boiling water simultaneously. The water temperature remains at 100°C regardless of how many eggs are in it (assuming the pot is large enough). Therefore, four eggs boil in the same 5 minutes as one egg - they all cook together in parallel.
