1. Well, I believe we're better off trying a few numeric examples for this one. Say m = 5 and z = 1. This means that m - 3z = 2 > 0 and m + z = 6 > 0.
Now let's take another example: Say m = 5 and z = -6.
m - 3z = 5 + 18 = 23 > 0. But m + z = 5 - 6 = -1 <0. So 1 is not sufficient.

2. is not sufficient using the same line of thought as above.

Now, let's take the two statements together. Adding the two is equivalent to z > 0. Since z is positive, this means that, using statement 1, m can only be positive as well. Adding the two positive numbers will always be a positive number, so both statements taken together are sufficient.

Agree with C
Just draw the number line.

Stem 1 can guve you positive and negative meaning for m and z and their sum can be as positive as negative.

Stem 2: the same approach as with stem1.

Combined:
3z < m < 4z
Ths can be only if both are positive. So, sum is also positive.

B-) Both explanations are master class and less time consuming. Remember, it's always worthwhile to use permissible number(s), in case you cannot visualize a rule, this is why I found the first work as awesome. The second work is accomplished by keeping rules in mind, which is always admirable on GMAT.
