B Correct answer
Explanation

This option is correct because it evaluates the efficiency of chemical transformation. Similar to yield calculation, atom economy is a ratio of total mass of atoms in desired product to the total mass of atoms in the reactants. Hence it evaluates the efficiency of chemical transformation.
