B Correct answer
Explanation

NRR = (Runs scored per over - Runs conceded per over). Team B scored 120 in 12 overs = 10 runs per over. They conceded 200 in 20 overs = 10 runs per over. NRR = 10 - 10 = 0, but wait - Team B was all out in 12 overs, so they are treated as if they played their full 20 overs. 120/20 = 6, 200/20 = 10, NRR = 6 - 10 = -4. This is the correct calculation method.
