I think I remember that adverse variances indicate overspending, so I’m leaning towards option A, but I’m not completely confident.

Alright, let's see. The image shows a favorable variance of $3,260, so the adverse variance must be the opposite of that. Option D seems to be the right answer here.

The question clearly states that the budget variance for prime cost is adverse, so I'm going with option B. $18,580 adverse variance seems like the correct answer here.
