Considering the time of the 3 fastest runners, the team’s competition time is given by:

B 36.08 seconds.

The team’s competition time is given by the total of the 3 fastest runners, that is, the sum of the times of the 3 runners who took the least time.

These times, in seconds, are given by:

12.03, 11.85, 12.2.

The sum of these times is given by:

12.03 + 11.85 + 12.2 = 36.08.

Hence the correct option is:

B 36.08 seconds.
