Kwellisley is right it is B

Explanation:

Option b is correct.

We would wait for 1-2 weeks before following up with the employer.

Further Explanation:

Resume: A resume is brief information of a person’s education, previous experience, and qualifications to send along with job application. After the submission of the resume by the person through the mail, he should hold for at least 1-2 week before following up with the employer.

Justification for the correct and incorrect

a.

1-2 day: This option is incorrect.

The follow with the employer should not be done after one day because it might be possible the recruiter has not seen the mail.

b.

1-2 weeks: This option is incorrect.  

After the submission of the resume by the person through the mail, he should hold for at least 1 week before following up with the employer because it gives enough time to the recruiter to review your resume and take a decision.  

c.

2-3 day: This option is correct.

The person should wait more than 2-3 days because if the recruiter is waiting for the other applicants then it might be possible, he may not have reviewed your application.

d.

4-5 day: This option is incorrect.  

The period of 4-5 days is short because if the holiday falls in between, the recruiter is on the leave or waiting for the other applicants. Then the chances are that he might have not reviewed your resume.
