In Digital, We are not interested in exact values of input and output values. We just consider $1$ as high and $0$ as low.

Positive logic system : In positive logic system $1$ is considered as High and $0$ is considered as Low.

Negative logic system : In negative logic system $0$ is considered as High and $1$ as Low.

So, a circuit which behaves as $NAND$ gate in $+ve$ logic system is $F(A,B) = \overline{AB}$, And when this is considered in $-ve$ logic system replace $0$ by $1$ and $1$ by $0$. i.e., replace a complemented variable by uncomplemented and uncomplemented by complemented.

$F = \overline{AB}$

Replace $A\rightarrow \overline{A}$ , $B\rightarrow \overline{B}$ and $\overline{AB}\rightarrow AB $ and see how circut behaves.

$F = \overline{\overline{\overline{A}.\overline{B}}}$ $ = \overline{A+B}$, So thus the circuit behaves as $NOR$ gate.

Hence (B) is correct answer.

This question can also be done by forming the truth table for NAND logic first and then Swapping $0$  and $1$ and Analyise how circuit behaves. ( but it takes some time )

Digital Logic System are two types:  1)Positive Logic System ( H = 1 , L = 0 )

                                                      2)Negative Logic System ( L = 1 , H = 0 )

                                                                                         

A B A(op)B
L L H
L H H
H L H
H H L

1) POSITIVE  LOGIC SYSTEM ( H = 1 , L = 0 )                        

A B A(op)B
0 0 1
0 1 1
1 0 1
1 1 0

This is acting is NAND Gate

2) NEGATIVE LOGIC SYSTEM ( L = 1 ,H = 0 )

A B A(op)B
1 1 0
1 0 0
0 1 0
0 0 1

This is acting is NOR Gate
