To find the maximum possible number of people, we can subtract the weight of the heaviest person from the weight limit of the elevator and then divide by the weight of the lightest person.
(630 kg - 101 kg) / 53 kg ≈ 10.47
So, the maximum possible number of people in the group is 10. Therefore, the answer is C. 10.

Oh, I didn't expect the calculation to be so simple! I got it!
