Statement 1:
We don't know when the guests will arrive. Not Sufficient \(\Large{\color{red}\chi}\)

Statement 2:
We don't know how many steaks are needed for the party. Not Sufficient \(\Large{\color{red}\chi}\)

Combining both the statements we can get, it would take Amy \(6\) mins/steak \(\cdot 4\) steaks \(= 24\) mins, and at worst, \(7\) mins/steak \(\cdot 4\) steaks \(= 28\) mins to grill \(4\) steaks.

Therefore, she will finish grilling all the \(4\) steaks before her guests arrive in \(30\) mins. Sufficient \(\Large{\color{green}\checkmark}\)

Hence, C
