Solution

First, let's determine how many envelopes one machine can stamp in one minute.

Given that one machine can stamp 20 envelopes in 4 minutes, it means that it can stamp 20/4 = 5 envelopes in one minute.

Now, we need to find out how many machines are needed to stamp 60 envelopes in one minute.

Since one machine can stamp 5 envelopes in one minute, we would need 60/5 = 12 machines to stamp 60 envelopes in one minute.

So, the answer is A12.
