To calculate the total milling machine time required, we need to add up the milling time for each product.

Product A: 5000 units x 3 minutes per unit = 15,000 minutes 
Product B: 4000 units x 4 minutes per unit = 16,000 minutes 
Product C: 3000 units x 2 minutes per unit = 6,000 minutes 
Product D: 2000 units x 1 minute per unit = 2,000 minutes

Total milling time = 15,000 + 16,000 + 6,000 + 2,000 = 39,000 minutes

Therefore, the answer is B) 23,700.
