When we count the total in Science, the total in Drama, and the total in Band, any students in exactly two of the clubs are counted TWICE.
Thus, we must SUBTRACT these students so that they are not double counted:
Total = Science + Drama + Band - (exactly 2 clubs) = 20 + 30 + 12 - (8+6+4) = 44.

The correct answer is D.

We can use the following formula:

n(At least one set) = n(A) + n(B) + n(C) - n(A and B) - n(A and C) - n(B and C) + n(A and B and C)

n(At least one set) = 20 + 30 + 12 - 8 - 6 - 4 + 0

n(At least one set) = 44

Answer: D
