The cyclicity of 7 is 4 , with last digits 7^1=7, 7^2=9, 7^3=3, 7^4=1
now we need to know the value of m+3+4n to determine the units digit of 7^(m+3+4n)
St1) m=7 i.e 7+3+4n=10+4n
If we divide 10+4n by 4(cyclicity no.) it will always yield remainder 2. So the units digit is same as 7^2 =9
Sufficient
St2) n=2 i.e m+3+8= m+11 . If we divide by 4 , we cannot determine the exact remainder , as different values of m will yield different remainders and hence different unit digits.
Not Sufficient

Ans :A
