It's C
From (1) you have $560000 / (21 + 7) = X (the ammount paid by scene)
then multiply X * 3 and you have the ammount D paid for the advertisement
From (2) you have $60000 / (7 - 4) = X
And again multiply by 3.

D- Either statement by itself is sufficient to answer the
question..
C- both statements together are needed to answer the
question, but neither statement alone is sufficient
