Agree with B. Was on D till I re-read for 24 NON ZERO integers --> which means they are all the same sign (either all +ve or all -ve)

St 1: Term 3 is +ve.
Case 1: 0,a,b..--> a,b,ab (terms 3 is +ve)
Case 2: -b, -a, 0 --> -a, -b then (-a) (-b) = ab. Thus signs can be different so NOT SUFF in terms of exact number of -ve terms.

St 2: Term 4 is -ve. can only happen when : -a, -b, ab, -ab Sq, -a sq b cubed. Thus since we know the signs we can count the number of -ve terms. SUFF

Statement 1:

seq possible: \(+ + + +\) ......... => No negatives
seq possible: \(- - + - - +\)..... => there are negative integers

InSuff

Statement 2:

4th term is negative:
Seq possible : - - + - - + - - + ......
Seq possible : - + - - + - - + ........

If you look closely, pattern of " - - + " repeats itself as " - + - ". in the another sequence.
So as long as the number of elements is multiple of 3, both seq of both patterns will have same number of -ve signs.
Promptly the question says number of elements is 24, so both seq will have same number of -ve integers and we will be to find count => sufficient

Answer (B)
