I always prefer visualizing these types of questions using a 2x2 table:

JuniorSenior
Prefer Junior18
Prefer Senior12
Total151530

Once you get that laid out, just read the question and fill in the blanks. If we want the least number of players who won't be assigned to the preferred team, it means we need to MAX out people who are assigned to preferred team:

JuniorSenior
Prefer Junior15318
Prefer Senior01212
Total151530

(A) 3
