I would go in for E.
Reason:
Darise gets : 10, 10, 10 and 8 (Given that Darise scored 10 in 3 classes and was equal to May in 1 one of the four classes). So these score could be her best. This means Darise avg is 9.5
Maya gets: 8,8,8,8 (Given that Maya did not score greater than 8 and we will assume she has got 8 in all four classes). So, these scores could be her best. This means Maya's avg is 8.
Given the above, Darise has better average than Maya.
A is deceiving and gives info that Maya 'graduated' as a topper. But we are in reference to these 4 classes and unsure if these 4 classes are the only classes in the overall curriculum to graduate out of.
