B. It takes more than 12 loads to wash 9 bins of towels.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function f (x) gives the number of loads required when there are x bins of towels to be washed.

f (x) = Number of loads

x=Bins of towels

Therefore in the inequality f (9) >12

Number of loads=12 Bins of towel = 9

If f (9) >12, it means Number of loads is more than 12.

f (9) >12 therefore tells us that it takes more than 12 loads to wash 9 bins of towels.

The correct option is B
