D Correct answer
Explanation

Work rates: A = 1/24 per day, B = 1/16 per day. Combined (A+B+C) = 1/8 per day. So C's rate = (1/8) - (1/24 + 1/16) = (1/8) - (5/48) = (6/48 - 5/48) = 1/48 per day. Therefore C alone can complete the work in 48 days. This is a standard work and time problem using combined work rates.
