B. He cuts large potatoes into 1/3-inch strips and pats them dry. He then heats oil in a deep-fryer to 375°F. He adds these strips of potatoes into the oil and removes them when the potatoes become golden brown is the correct answer.

Explanation:

For this answer, it will be explained why A is incorrect:

Letter A suggests Steve cuts the potatoes into big pieces and it does not specify the shape (which B does); some instructions are also incorrect, such as adding "some vegetables into the oil" since the main intention is to prepare only French fries. 200°F is not the proper temperature to cook the fries and the time (40 minutes) is also excessive. On the other hand, letter B explains step by step what Todd should do to prepare fries, from the shape to how hot the oil should be as well as when is the correct time to remove the strips from the oil.
