The answer is C
Statement 1: Since median is the number at which 50% is defined, this does not tell me what the number of people are in that segment. Insufficient.
Statement 2: Similar. Insufficient.
Statement 1 and 2 combined.: I know 25% of the projects have 4 or more employees and 35% have 2 or fewer employees. So the only segment that is in the middle are exactly 3 employees.
