    A.) Project A only

    Explanation:

    Even though project B has a significant higher net present value, it should not be accepted since it fails to meet the maximum payback period criteria set by the company. On the other hand, project A meets that criteria and since there are no other parameters being used to check the projects' viability, project A should be the only one accepted.
