Solution Steps

Step 1: Analyze the Schedule

First, we need to analyze the schedule provided in the table to determine the start and end times of each activity.

  • Cleaning duty: Starts at 8:00 a.m. and lasts for 20 minutes, ending at 8:20 a.m.
  • Breakfast: Starts at 8:35 a.m. and lasts for 45 minutes, ending at 9:20 a.m.
  • Laundry duty: Starts at 9:40 a.m. and lasts for 35 minutes, ending at 10:15 a.m.
  • Daily exercise: Starts at 10:25 a.m. and lasts for 55 minutes, ending at 11:20 a.m.
  • Lunch: Starts at 11:45 a.m. and lasts for 45 minutes, ending at 12:30 p.m.
Step 2: Calculate Breaks Between Activities

Next, we calculate the breaks between the end of one activity and the start of the next:

  • Between cleaning duty and breakfast: 8:20 a.m. to 8:35 a.m. = 15 minutes
  • Between breakfast and laundry duty: 9:20 a.m. to 9:40 a.m. = 20 minutes
  • Between laundry duty and daily exercise: 10:15 a.m. to 10:25 a.m. = 10 minutes
  • Between daily exercise and lunch: 11:20 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. = 25 minutes
Step 3: Identify the Activities with a 10-Minute Break

From the calculations above, the only pair of activities with a 10-minute break between them is:

  • Laundry duty and daily exercise: 10:15 a.m. to 10:25 a.m.

Final Answer

The answer is \(\boxed{\text{A}}\).
