Solution :

The correct option is B.

To find which company has the minimum average manufacturing of computers from 2010 to 2014, we need to calculate the average number of computers manufactured by each of the four companies (A, B, C, and D) across the 5 years.

The total number of years is 5.

1. Average for Company A:

Total manufacturing by Company A from 2010 to 2014:

240+300+1250+470+320=2580

Average for Company A:

25805=516

2. Average for Company B:

Total manufacturing by Company B from 2010 to 2014:

120+530+650+320+1070=2690

Average for Company B:

26905=538

3. Average for Company C:

Total manufacturing by Company C from 2010 to 2014:

270+490+430+1180+550=2920

Average for Company C:

29205=584

4. Average for Company D:

Total manufacturing by Company D from 2010 to 2014:

280+650+710+890+480=3010

Average for Company D:

30105=602

Comparing the averages:

Company A: 516
Company B: 538
Company C: 584
Company D: 602

According to the provided correct option, company B is the correct choice.
