    A certain computer has two identical processors that are able to run in parallel. Each processor can run only one process at a time, and each process must be executed on a single processor. The following list indicates the amount of time it takes to execute each of four processes on a single processors:

    • Process A takes 10 seconds to execute on either processor.
    • Process B takes 15 seconds to execute on either processor.
    • Process C takes 20 seconds to execute on either processor.
    • Process D takes 25 seconds to execute on either processor.

    Which of the following parallel computing solutions would minimize the amount of time it takes to execute all four processes?
