Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

The correct option is B.
According to Cayley's Formula, the total number of spanning trees in a labeled complete graph Kn with n vertices is given by n^{n-2}. For a complete graph with 4 vertices (K4), the total number of spanning trees is 4^{4-2} = 4^2 = 16.
