Well, following is the necessary info drawn from the table:
x + 4 = 1 or x = -3
y + 4 = -5 or y = -9
z + 4 = m
x + e = 7 or e = 10
y + e = n or n = 1
z + e = 10 or z = 0, hence m = 4
m + n = [spoiler]4 + 1 = 5

here's how I went about it.. Noted all the equations possible:
4+x=1
4+y=1
4+z=m
e+x=7
e+y=n
e+z=10
f+x=2
f+y=-4
f+z=5
Isolated the eqns which have m or n -
4+z=m
e+y=n
Adding both -
4+z+e+y = m+n, our requirement.
one eqn from the above set states
e+z=10
So,
4+10+y = m+n
Isolating the eqn which has a single y,
4+y=-5
y = -9
Substituting,
4+10+(-9) = m+n = 5 Hence C.
4+x=1
4+y=1
4+z=m
e+x=7
e+y=n
e+z=10
f+x=2
f+y=-4
f+z=5
Isolated the eqns which have m or n -
4+z=m
e+y=n
Adding both -
4+z+e+y = m+n, our requirement.
one eqn from the above set states
e+z=10
So,
4+10+y = m+n
Isolating the eqn which has a single y,
4+y=-5
y = -9
Substituting,
4+10+(-9) = m+n = 5 Hence C.
