B Correct answer
Explanation

Work = Men * Days. 17 * 12 = 6 * D. D = (17 * 12) / 6 = 17 * 2 = 34.

AI explanation

Using the formula for constant work, $M_1 \times D_1 = M_2 \times D_2$, we substitute the values as $17 \times 12 = 6 \times \text{days}$. This results in $204 = 6 \times \text{days}$, which divides out to 34 days.
