B Correct answer
Explanation

When two aircraft follow the same track and same flight level, a 5-minute separation is required during departure. This provides sufficient time and distance buffer in case of emergencies or deviations during the critical departure phase. Same track/same level requires more conservative separation than diverging tracks.
