Let a = the number of advisers.

Since there are 3500 residents -- and the ratio of advisers to residents must be at least 7/200 -- we get:
a/3500 ≥ 7/200
200a ≥ 3500*7
2a ≥ 35*7
2a ≥ 245
a ≥ 122.5.

Since the value of a must be an INTEGER, the least possible value for a is 123.

The correct answer is D.

We can create the following proportion where n is the number of resident advisers:

n/3500 ≥ 7/200

200n ≥ 7 x 3500

2n ≥ 7 x 35

n ≥ 122.5

Thus, the minimum value of n is 123.

Answer: D
