To find the load-distance score for a facility located at (15,15), we need to calculate the distance from each demand point to this facility and multiply it by the respective demand.

The rectilinear distance from A to (15,15) is |10-15|+|10-15|=10, and the corresponding load is 100. 
Using the same calculation, the load-distance scores for facility at (15,15) from demand points B, C, and D are 200, 75, and 1000 respectively.

Therefore, the total load-distance score for this facility location is:
100*10 + 200*5 + 150*5 + 200*5 = 5500

Thus, the answer is B, more than 5500 but less than or equal to 6000.
