General rule for such kind of problems:
to maximize one quantity, minimize the others;
to minimize one quantity, maximize the others.
Thus to maximize the number of points of one particular player minimize the number of points of all other 11 players.
Minimum number of points for a player is 7, so the minimum number of points of 11 players is 7*11=77.
Therefore, the maximum number of points for 12th player is 100-77=23.
Answer: E.
Hope it's clear.
