A school is preparing a trip for 400 students. The company who is providing the transportation has 10 large buses of 50 seats each and 8 small buses of 40 seats, but only has 9 drivers available. The rental cost for a large bus is $800 and $600 for the small bus. Formulate the problem to minimize the rental costs for the school in terms of the following decision variables:

S: number of small buses to rent

L: number of large buses to rent

A. min 600S + 800L subject to: 40S + 50L >= 400; S <= 8; L <= 10; S + L <= 9; S, L >= 0; S, L are integers

B. min 600S + 800L subject to: 40S + 50L >= 9; S <= 8; L <= 10; S + L <= 400; S, L >= 0; S, L are integers

C. min 600S + 800L subject to: 50S + 40L >= 400; S <= 8; L <= 10; S + L <= 9; S, L >= 0

D. min 600S + 800L subject to: 40S + 50L >= 400; S <= 8; L <= 10; S + L <= 9; S, L >= 0
