To determine who spent more time writing per problem, we need to calculate the unit rate (minutes per problem) for each writer using the data provided.

Sonia's data:

\( \frac{120 \text{ minutes}}{6 \text{ problems}} = 20 \text{ minutes/problem} \)
\( \frac{360 \text{ minutes}}{18 \text{ problems}} = 20 \text{ minutes/problem} \)
\( \frac{500 \text{ minutes}}{25 \text{ problems}} = 20 \text{ minutes/problem} \)
\( \frac{1200 \text{ minutes}}{60 \text{ problems}} = 20 \text{ minutes/problem} \)

Sonia spent 20 minutes per problem.

Maryna's data:

\( \frac{200 \text{ minutes}}{8 \text{ problems}} = 25 \text{ minutes/problem} \)
\( \frac{375 \text{ minutes}}{15 \text{ problems}} = 25 \text{ minutes/problem} \)
\( \frac{500 \text{ minutes}}{20 \text{ problems}} = 25 \text{ minutes/problem} \)
\( \frac{1250 \text{ minutes}}{50 \text{ problems}} = 25 \text{ minutes/problem} \)

Maryna spent 25 minutes per problem.

Conclusion:

Maryna spent more time writing per problem at the unit rate of 25 min/problem.

The correct response is: Maryna spent more time writing per problem at the unit rate of 25 min/problem.
