I also got D. Key in on the underlined word, different.
Say we have the 5 numbers, A B C D E. Question is asking, is (D+E)/2>70? D+E>140?
Statement I
median is 70. If C=70, then D and E have to be at least 71 and 72. 71+72>140. Sufficient
Statement II
This one is easier to think about intuitively. If the average of the whole set is 70, and each number is different, then the two greatest numbers need to be at least 70 each in order to balance out A + B. Sufficient.
