B Correct answer
Explanation

Defect removal efficiency (or TCS test effectiveness) is calculated as the ratio of defects found during internal phases (Component, Integration, and System testing) to the total defects found (including Acceptance testing and Customer-reported bugs). Here, TCS found 165 defects out of a total of 200 (165 + 5 + 30), yielding 82.50%.
