Why the answer is B, and why the others tempt you.
Under Section 11(2)(c) of the Labour Act (Cap L1, LFN 2004), where an employment contract has continued for a period of 2 years but less than 5 years, the minimum statutory notice period required is two weeks. Since 4 years and 8 months falls within this range, two weeks' notice (or payment in lieu) is required by law.
