Answer: Option (B)

Explanation:

In project and production management, bottleneck is referred to as one of the process under chain of processes, so that reduced limited capacity tends to reduce capacity of whole chain. The result or outcome of having the bottleneck is the stalls in supply overstock, production, pressure from consumers and also the low employee morale.
