Cannot Exceed

A term that limits or restricts a particular value, quantity, or action from going beyond a specified point.

Inequality

A mathematical statement indicating that two expressions are not equal, usually shown with signs like <, >, ≤, or ≥.

Linear Optimization

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
"Cannot exceed" implies a upper limit, so the appropriate inequality is "less than or equal to," which is denoted by ≤. Therefore, the correct choice is B.
