The priming in this experiment is calculated by subtracting the success rate of completing previously unseen word fragments from the success rate of completing previously seen word fragments: 
Priming = (Success rate of completing previously seen fragments) - (Success rate of completing previously unseen fragments) 
Priming = (60%) - (40%) 
Priming = 20% 
Therefore, the best choice is B.
