I think the answer is A.

Because if you rearrange the third row, you can match all the rows together. After rearranging, the element in the 2nd row times that of the 3rd row is that of the 4th row in the same column. Also, you can find that the element in the 2nd row plus that of the 3rd row is that of the 1st row in the same column.

\begin{array}{|r|r|r|r|r|r|r|r|r|r|}\hline 11 & 12 & 13 & 14 & 15 & 16 & 17 & 18 & 19 & 20\\ =5+6 & =7+5 & =2+11 & =2+12 & =9+6 & =1+15 & =8+9 & =12+6 & = 0+19& =10+10\\ \hline 5 & 7 & 2 & 2 & 9 & 1 & 8 & 12 & 0 & 10\\ \hline 6 & \color{red}{5} & 11 & 12 & 6 & 15 & \color{red}{9} & \color{red}{6} & \color{red}{19} &10 \\ \hline 30 & 35& 22 & 24 & 54 & 15 & 72 & 72 & 0 &100\\ =5\times6 & =7\times5& =2\times11 & =2\times12 & =9\times6 & =1\times15 & =8\times9 & =12\times6 & =0\times19 &=10\times10\\ \hline \end{array}
