Ans is C) F for price and U for usage
Explanation: Material variances is of two types, one for price and other for usage, if actual quantity used in production is higher than standard quantity then Usage variance is Unfavorable and vice versa.
In same way if price of material is higher than standard price set it is unfavorable and vice versa.
In the present case:
1.25 Pounds(AQ) > 1.2 Pounds(SQ) I.e Usage variance is unfavorable
$1.95 (AP) < $2(SP) i.e. Price variance is Favorable
So Option C is correct and other options are incorrect
