Using tally marks, the total number of prescriptions filled is:

6 prescriptions before 10 A.M.: |||||| 
8 prescriptions between 12 A.M. and lunch: |||||||| 
11 prescriptions in the afternoon: ||||||||||||

Adding these up, we get a total of 6 + 8 + 11 = 25 prescriptions filled.

Therefore, the best choice is B: 11ebb939_4a49_d8f1_9e6c_05dd294959d8_TB8446_11. Using a tally system, we represent each prescription with a vertical line.

Before 10 A.M.: |||||| 
Between 12 A.M. and lunch: |||||||| || 
Afternoon: ||||||||||||

Counting the number of tally marks, we find the total number of prescriptions filled is 6 + 8 + 11 = 25. This matches with option B.
