Answer:

B. Unfavorable

Explanation:

Variance is use to know the difference between the standard cost which is the budgeted cost and the cost actually incurred and this amount of difference can either be favorable or unfavorable.

The variable overhead efficiency variance is the difference between standard hours for actual output and the actual hours taken at the standard variable overhead rate.
