The given string is a hexadecimal representation of a binary number. Separating the first 20 digits from the last 12 digits, we get 11eb4ad9_9254_c64b_8c7b_d7a0d2cebf22 in the first factor and TB3180_00 in the second factor.
Converting the first factor to binary gives us: 00010001111010110100101011011001_10010010101001001100011001001011_10001100011110101100001101111011_11010111100000011010001110011101_10101100000010110100110110011111_00100010
Grouping the binary digits as per the given choices, we can see that factor 1 is composed of variables 1, 2, and 4: 00|01|0001|1|0101|1010|1011|0110|1101|1001|1001|0100|11|0001|1000.
Therefore, option B is true.
