IMO D:
a) Since the median is 70 and all integers are different, the greatest two integers will definitely be greater than 70. Hence their average will be greater than 70. Sufficient

b) Since the average is 70 and all integers are different, definitely atleast one integer will be greater than 70 by the amount the other integers are less than 70. The average of this number with the second largest number will be greater than 70. Sufficient
