The data table shows the numbers of eggs laid by individual chickens in a year.

\begin{tabular}{|l|l|}
\hline \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{ Chicken ID } & \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{ Number of eggs } \\
\hline A01 & 234 \\
\hline B01 & 229 \\
\hline C01 & 235 \\
\hline D01 & 231 \\
\hline E01 & 229 \\
\hline F01 & 222 \\
\hline G01 & 262 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

To determine the range of a set of data, we need to find the difference between the maximum and minimum values in the data set.

Given the numbers of eggs laid by each chicken:
- Chicken A01: 234 eggs
- Chicken B01: 229 eggs
- Chicken C01: 235 eggs
- Chicken D01: 231 eggs
- Chicken E01: 229 eggs
- Chicken F01: 222 eggs
- Chicken G01: 262 eggs

First, identify the maximum and minimum values:
- The maximum number of eggs laid is 262 (by chicken G01).
- The minimum number of eggs laid is 222 (by chicken F01).

Next, calculate the range by subtracting the minimum value from the maximum value:
[tex]\[ \text{Range} = \text{Maximum value} - \text{Minimum value} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Range} = 262 - 222 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Range} = 40 \][/tex]

Therefore, the range of this set of data is 40.

So, the correct answer is:
B. 40
