Looking at the table, we can see that with 20 workers, a maximum of 26.5 units can be produced. We also notice that the productivity increases with each additional worker initially, but at some point, the added productivity starts to decrease. To find the optimal number of workers, we need to look for the point where productivity starts to decrease, which in this case is after 18 workers. Therefore, the maximum amount that can be produced using 20 workers is the same as using 18 workers, which is 530 units. Thus, the best choice is B.
