Should be E because when you consider
Stmt 2: N/3 = positive. With this statement, N can be 3 or any multiple of 3 greater than 4, therefore, Stmt 2 is insufficient
Stmt1: 3N = positive, could be any integer greater than 0 which makes N either less than or greater than 4 therefore, Stmt 1 is insufficient
Combining both statements, N can be either 3 or any value greater than 4, making C insufficient
E should be the answer
