To find the area of the land needed to plant 20,000 seeds at a density of 4,000 seeds per acre, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Area (acres)} = \frac{\text{Total seeds}}{\text{Seeds per acre}}
\]
Plugging in the numbers:
\[
\text{Area (acres)} = \frac{20,000 \text{ seeds}}{4,000 \text{ seeds per acre}} = 5 \text{ acres}
\]
Therefore, the correct answer is **b. 5 acres**.
