The correct option is B II is eclipsed, I is staggered II is having an eclipsed conformation since the two substituent hydrogen atoms on adjacent carbons are located at the closest proximity.
Similarily, I is having a staggered conformation since the two substituent hydrogen atoms on adjacent carbons are located farthest from each other.
Hence, B is the correct option.
