B.

2) seems to be sufficient: 1,5qx9months=13.5q, which is greater than 12q already

1) is not sufficient cause 1,5qx8=12q, if he she did not speak the last 4 months it is possible that they bot had the same average



won't the average go down when the usage is 0 for the unknown months. I think the answer should be C.

if so, for the condition 2) we have to divide 13,5q by 12, which greater than q already and it doesn't matter whether she speeks the rest of the year. => 2) sufficient

For the condition 1) we have 12q for eight months. Let's divide by 12 gives average of q for the whole year and we don't know if she spoke during the other 4 months and if average exceeded q or remained on the same level. => 1) is not sufficient

Yes I agree with B. It is already 13.5, which is more than 12 anyway.
