B Correct answer
Explanation

A typical laying hen produces approximately 250-300 eggs per year, which equals roughly 20-25 dozen. The correct answer of 19 dozen (228 eggs) falls within the normal production range for a healthy hen under commercial conditions. Options like 5 dozen (60 eggs) would indicate very poor production, while 21+ dozen would be exceptionally high.
