The best way to answer these questions is to go through both statements individually and mark them as sufficient or insufficient. Then, only if both are marked as insufficient, you check if the two statements combined are sufficient.
Step 1: Statement 1 tells us neither C nor D is an integer.
This is clearly insufficient as it gives us no indication of how many integers are in between C and D.
Insufficient.
Step 2: Statement 2: C - D = 3.
If C and D were both integers (e.g. C = 4 and D = 7), there would be only 2 integers in between them while there would be 3 integers between C = 4.5 and D = 7.5.
Insufficient.
Step 3: Since both have been marked as insufficient, we now check them combined.
C - D = 3. C and D are not integers.
Sufficient.
Therefore the answer is C.

I got the hint from statement 1 and chose C. If it was not written, perhaps I would have missed.
(2)
c=5.1, d=2.1; c-d=3; (3,4,5)-- 3 integers between them
c=5, d=2; c-d=3; (3,4)-- 2 integers between them
Insufficient.
(1)
Clearly insufficient.
c=1.1 d=1000000.1
c=1.1 d=1.1
Combining both;
c=5.1, d=2.1; c-d=3; (3,4,5)-- 3 integers between them
OR
c=55.00001, d=52.00001; c-d=3; (53,54,55)-- 3 integers between them
Always 3 integers.
Sufficient.
Ans: "C"
