IMO C

I assume that this is the expression - [3 ^ (4n + 2)] + M.

(1) and (2) are clearly insufficient alone. Because, the value of m or n can be any no and when divided by 10, you get different possible remainders.

Take n=2, 3 ^ (8+2) + M = 3^10 + M = 59049 + M. M could take any value from 0-9 and when added with the 59049 and divided by 10, different remainder values turn up.

Combined, only then it is sufficient.

n= 2
m=1
Notice that 3^(4n + 2) = (3^4n)(3^2) = (3^4)^n * 9 = 81^n * 9. Since the units digit of 81^n will be 1 no matter what the value of n, the units digit of 81^n * 9 will always be 9. So we don't care what n is. We do need the value of m, however, so the answer is B.

Perfect explanation.
