To find the standard time for the job, we need to add the normal time to the allowances, which is 10% of the normal time. 
Allowances = 10% of 4 minutes = 0.4 minutes = 24 seconds 
Standard time = Normal time + Allowances = 4 minutes + 24 seconds = 4 minutes, 24 seconds 
Therefore, the closest option is C).
