St1: Avg unoccupied seats per row = 3.5
We don't know the number of rows so cant determine the # of unoccupied seats
Insufficient

St2: More than 9 rows and fewer than 12 rows
so it could have either 10 or 11 rows
Insufficient

Together 1 + 2: We can only have 10 rows since 10 * 3.5 = 35 unoccupied seats
It cannot be 11 rows since that will yield a non-integer number of unoccupied seats and that is not possible.
No of seats should always be an integer.
Hence Sufficient
Ans C
