Options

A. One course in Maths and one course in Science
B. One course in Fine Arts and one course in English
C. Two courses in Fine Arts
D. Two courses in Maths

Answer

C

Explanation

If the student takes Social Studies then he must take a course in Fire Arts. With a course in Fine Arts, he cannot take a course in English, and with two courses already scheduled (Social Studies and Fine Arts), ne cannot take either Maths or Science (for those must go together). HIS only choice, therefore, is to take another Fine Arts course (as (3) suggests or another Social Studies course.
