Solution

The correct option is B 30 mH
For a coupled series inductors, the total inductance is given by $L_{T} = L_{1} + L_{2} \pm 2 M$
When the inductors are coupled cumulatively means current in same direction, the total inductance will be $L_{T} = L_{1} + L_{2} + 2 M = 10 + 10 + 2 (5) = 30$ $m H$
