I think it should be D
If A = 1, C = 6. Since distance between B and C is 20 then B = 26 or B = -14
(i) Point C has to lie between A and B. Since distance between A and B = 25 it only satisfies when C is between as then B = 26. sufficient
(ii) Same if point A lies to the left of B. C would definitely end up between A and B sufficient
What's the OA?

A
S1 is sufficient because there is only one scenario where A is 25 away from B. C has to be in the middle
S2 can give two scenarios. picture it here:
A----C---------------------------B (answer is yes here)
OR
C----A----------------------B (answer is no here)
