To determine how many minutes of milling machine time would be required to satisfy demand for all four products, we need to calculate the total minutes of milling machine time needed for each product and add them up.

For the products A, B, and C, the required milling machine time is simply their respective processing times, which are 10, 15, and 15 minutes.

For product D, we need to calculate the milling machine time required per unit: 
4 parts x 20 minutes per part = 80 minutes 
80 minutes x 250 units = 20,000 minutes

So the total milling machine time required to satisfy demand for all four products is: 
10 + 15 + 15 + 20,000 = 23,700

Therefore, the best choice is B.
