Since nothing is mentioned about the Propagation delay, we'll take that as 0. 

Transmission delay of the packet = (Length of the Packet) / (Bandwidth) = L / B.

Since there are N intermediate routers, 

total transmission delay = (N + 1) * Transmission delay of the packet  {1 transmission at the source, and N at the routers}.

So, total transmission delay = (N + 1) * L / B.

The closest answer looks like: B. NL/B
