(C) Both statements together are sufficient, but neither alone is sufficient.
(D) Each statement alone is sufficient.

Note the 39 in the question means there are 39 charcoal paintings. Thus statement 2 is sufficient as there must be 39 - 11 flower charcoal paintings.

I suggested this version of this question, in this thread (which has a very similar question)
https://gmatclub.com/forum/paul-a-paint ... 61511.html
If the total number of paintings is 39 more than the number of pencil paintings, then those 39 extra paintings must be charcoal, because every painting is either pencil or charcoal. So we know from the stem that we have 39 charcoal paintings, and from Statement 2 we know 11 of those are cats, so the rest, or 28 of them, must be flowers, and Statement 2 is sufficient. Statement 1 is not, so the answer is B.
