D Correct answer
Explanation

If B requires A with 2-hour lead time and B triggers at 8:00 AM, B looks back 2 hours to check A's completion. A must have completed BY 6:00 AM, but could have completed at any earlier time (5:00 AM, 4:00 AM, etc.). A's runtime is unknown - only completion time matters for LEADTM.
