I say B
1) does not relate n to t so we cannot say.
2) because for all t's (multiples of 3) and 3n's n is factor of t.

I choose B as well
the general formula is
x=n*y+remainder if remainder is 0 y is a factor of y (or n)
right? (do correct me if i'm wrong as always!!)

B here also n as a factor of t, would be t being a multiple of n (right?)

1) Not sufficient. Nothing about t
2) sufficient. t is a multiple of n, so n is a factor of t.
