Explanation:

First Question (M&M's Production per Day)

The factory that produces M&M's is known to produce around 100 million M&M's per day. Option A (1 million) is too low, C (1 billion) and D (10 billion) are excessively high compared to known production figures.

The conche process in chocolate/candy making is used to grind and heat the mixture, mellow flavors, and create a smooth texture. Option A is about shaping (not conche), B is about removing cacao shells (a different step), D is about printing the "M" (not conche).

The typical color distribution for M&M's is 25% blue, 25% orange, 12.5% each of red, yellow, green, and brown. Option B has equal 20% which is incorrect, C's 30%/30%/40% is wrong, D's equal six colors (but there are six colors? No, the standard has blue, orange, red, yellow, green, brown with blue and orange at 25% each and the rest at 12.5% each).

Answer:

B. 100 million
