B. 9
C. 7
D. 6
E. 4
n = 45q+18 - remainder equation
n = 18, 63, 108.. (18, 18+45....)
Divisor of n is factor of n or number that completely divides n
Basis the options we can go ahead and see 9 is divisible by all

OE
The given information tells you that n can be expressed in the form n = 45k + 18, where k can be any nonnegative integer. Consider how the divisors of 45 and 18 may be related to the divisors of n. Every common divisor of 45 and 18 is also a divisor of any sum of multiples of 45 and 18, like 45k + 18. So any common divisor of 45 and 18 is also a divisor of n. Of the answer choices given, only 9 is a common divisor of 45 and 18. Thus the correct answer is Choice B.
