B for me too. You don't really need to know how many students actually study both.

From A. "16 students at the school study both French and Japanese"
and from Q, "4 percent of the students at the school who study French also study Japanese" So, 16 is 4% of students who study French. From this we can get french studying students and hence compare
We are down to AD
From B, "10 percent of the students at the school who study Japanese also study French." Ah! can't say no of japanese students.
So, D is ruled out.
A is Correct answer.
