C.
1. 2C = a + b. Insuff.
2. 2a = b + c. Insuff.
Combined: Solving the two equations, we get a = b = c. Suff.

Wat's the OA? I think we are able to. Since all got the 'same marks' no one got the highest.

Agree with C. Two equations. Solve them and get the result. A=B=C. Please, post official answer.
