B Correct answer
Explanation

Spoken numerals are actually among the easiest inputs for ASR systems to recognize accurately, as they represent a limited, well-defined vocabulary that systems can be extensively trained on. The other options - poor audio quality, strong accents, and code-switching between languages - are well-documented challenges that significantly degrade ASR performance.
