B Correct answer
Explanation

According to cricket laws, the follow-on can be enforced when the team batting first leads by at least 200 runs after the first innings. This rule allows the leading team to make their opponents bat again immediately, saving time and potentially accelerating the match result. The 200-run threshold is the standard in Test cricket.
