The correct answer is letter "B": Phil, because of justification of effort.

Explanation:

In the case given, Phil fixes the TV cable connection in his room even if the signal is fuzzy. Jason arrives at the place after the job is done but, actually, he may be unsatisfied due to the fact that the TV doesn't have the proper signal. So, out of the two of them, Phil would enjoy the TV cable the most because of the effort that is demanded of him to have the service up.
