Dear Student,

Please read carefully, both words are same but appearance is different In option B have hyphen.
basic rule for getting answer is
The Use hyphens for ages expressed as adjectives before a noun or as substitutes for a noun.
Do not use hyphens when you are simply stating the age of something.
