D. x>23

Step-by-step explanation:

Deena's goal is to take 200 calls this week.

She already answered 85 calls this week, so she's missing 115 (200-85) calls for her goal.

She takes about 5 calls per hour, so how many hours does she need to work more?

h = 115 calls / (5 calls/h) = 23 hours

So, she needs to work at least 23 more hours ... so x > 23.
