The answer is (B): 71 hours.

Let's break down the calculation for the total hours worked by one crew member in a week:

  1. Regular Hours (Monday to Friday):

    • Each day: 10 hours
    • Total for 5 days: \(10 \text{ hours/day} \times 5 \text{ days} = 50 \text{ hours}\)
  2. Overtime Hours (Monday to Friday):

    • Regular hours per day: 8 hours
    • Overtime per day: \(10 \text{ hours} - 8 \text{ hours} = 2 \text{ hours}\)
    • Total overtime for 5 days: \(2 \text{ hours/day} \times 5 \text{ days} = 10 \text{ hours}\)
  3. Saturday Hours:

    • Total hours: 8 hours (all considered as weekend work)
  4. Total Hours:

    • Regular hours: 40 hours (8 hours/day for 5 days)
    • Overtime hours (Monday to Friday): 10 hours
    • Weekend hours (Saturday): 8 hours

    Total hours worked in a week: \(40 \text{ regular hours} + 10 \text{ overtime hours} + 8 \text{ weekend hours} = 58 \text{ hours}\)

However, the question asks for the "pay hour" which includes the overtime and weekend work rates:

  • Regular hours: 40 hours
  • Overtime hours (1.5 rate): \(10 \text{ hours} \times 1.5 = 15 \text{ pay hours}\)
  • Weekend hours (2.0 rate): \(8 \text{ hours} \times 2.0 = 16 \text{ pay hours}\)

Total pay hours: \(40 \text{ regular hours} + 15 \text{ overtime pay hours} + 16 \text{ weekend pay hours} = 71 \text{ pay hours}\)

Therefore, the correct pay hour for one crew member is 71 hours.
