I. k > 35

when k = 36,37,38,39
k+5 = 41,42,43,44

when k = 40,41,42,43,44
k+5 = 45,46,47,48,49

both the sets satisfy the condition k+5 having units digit 4. Hence k can have 3 or 4 as the unit's digit. Insufficient

II. if units digits is greater than 5 , then the only numbers to satisfy (k+5) condition is 36,37,38,39. So the units digit of k is 3. Sufficient

hence B
