120 is the correct answer.
4 vertices are used in 4 components and the remaining 20 - 4 = 16 vertices will be in the last component. Now what is the maximum number of edges for 16 vertices? (16*15)/2 = 120. Hence 120 is the answer.

Let edges is "e" and components(k) =5 vertices =20
e>= (n-k+1)*(n-k)/2
(20-5+1)*(20-5)/2              [20-5+1 = 16 not 14]
16*15/2= 120
