The boring department requires 18, finishing 11, and inspection & packing 4.
Answer (A) is incorrect because Boring only requires 18 hours for one of each model fixture to pass through.
Answer (C) is incorrect because Finishing only requires 11 hours for one of each model fixture to pass through.
Answer (D) is incorrect because Inspection & packing only requires 4 hours for one of each model fixture to pass through.
