B Correct answer
Explanation

When calculating flight duty time limitations, co-pilot flying hours are counted at 80% of the actual hours flown. This reduced rate accounts for the different responsibilities and workload of a co-pilot compared to a pilot-in-command. The adjustment prevents fatigue by properly weighting flight time accumulation.
