To find the correct equation, we need to look at the rate at which the number of pages remaining is decreasing.

From the table, we can see that the number of pages remaining is decreasing by 40 pages every hour. This means that there is a constant rate of change of -40 pages per hour.

Therefore, the equation that represents this relationship is:

N = -40t + 360

So, the correct answer is:

B. N = -40t + 360
