Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for the length of the pieces to be as great as possible, the number of pieces must be as small as possible. Jason can't keep the rope in one piece, that doesn't count as cutting the rope into pieces because he hasn't cut the rope. If there were 2 equal pieces, each piece would be 60 / 2 = 30 feet, and since 30 is an integer, the answer is 2.
