B) The rate at which the two brothers work
together
C) The rate at which the second brother paints
D) The number of days it takes the first brother

Assuming you are asking what does x represent when you say "What does represent" the answer is a: the number of days it take the brothers to paint 13 pictures.

The first 2 sentences are useless and don't tell you anything (well they do but you don't need the information).

Both brothers can paint 13 pictures in x days.

So x means days, more specifically, the number of days it took for the brothers to paint 13 pictures.
