B. 3 hoursAccording to food safety guidelines, food should be cooled from 135°F to 70°F within 2 hours and then from 70°F to 41°F within an additional 4 hours. Since it has already been cooled to 70°F in 2 hours, there are 4 hours left to reach 41°F. Therefore, 3 hours are left to cool the chili to 41°F.
