A. The project is desirable if the minimum desired rate of return is 6%.

Explanation:

If the NPV of a project is zero at an 8% rate it means it yields 8%

Remember:

PV = net cash flow at present value using a given rate - investment

So if PV = 0 then

net cash flow at given the rate = investment

Which makes the business profitable at that rate.

So if the desired minimum is 6% the project yields above that. Making it profitable and therefore, desirable
