Divisor should be greater than remainder.

So Remainder can't be n...

IMO option D.

Let me know if I am missing anything.

Divisor should always be greater than remainder so n cannot be a remainder.

Don't hesitate if you have any question.

Straight (D)

Had n been the reminder of number m when divided by n , then the results would have been no remainder....

n/n = 1 and no remainder..

Hence answer has to be (D)...

Simple. Divisor can never be remainder. If so, it will increase the quotient by 1.
