Solution:

Since 3 sisters have an average age of 25 years, the sum of their ages is 75.

To minimize the age of the oldest sister, we want to maximize the ages of the two youngest sisters. Since the median is 24, the two youngest sisters could both be 24 years old.

Thus, the minimum possible age of the oldest sister is 75 - (24 + 24) = 75 - 48 = 27.

Answer: D
