To find the minimum lease payments, we need to calculate the present value of the lease payments and choose the option with the least value. Based on the lease information provided, we can calculate the minimum lease payments as follows:

Lease payments at end of each year: $30,000
Lease term: 4 years
Discount rate: 10%

Using the formula for present value of an annuity, we get:

PV = Lease payment x Present value factor
PV = $30,000 x 3.169
PV = $95,070

Therefore, the minimum lease payments for the lessee would be $95,070.

Out of the given options, the closest value is option B, which is $96,884. Hence, the best choice is B.
