B Correct answer
Explanation

The visible lifetime of an activity extends from onStart() to the corresponding onStop() call, not onPause(). The activity is visible to the user in the onStart()-onStop() window, while onPause() indicates partial obscuration (activity is still visible but not in focus). The visible lifecycle can repeat multiple times as the user navigates away and back.
