The problem states that the sum of the length $l$ and the width $w$ of a rectangular region is 260 meters. We can set up an equation using this information:

$l + w = 260$

We want to solve for $w$ in terms of $l$. We can isolate $w$ by subtracting $l$ from both sides of the equation:

$l + w - l = 260 - l$

$w = 260 - l$

Therefore, $w$ is a function of $l$ and can be written as $w = 260 - l$. Choice B is the correct answer.
