C Correct answer
Explanation

Total work = 76 × 33 = 2508 lady-days. With fewer ladies, time increases to 44 days. Let actual ladies = x. Then x × 44 = 2508, x = 57. Ladies absent = 76 - 57 = 19. Verification: 57 × 44 = 2508 lady-days ✓. Option A (17): Would mean 59 ladies worked, but 59 × 44 = 2596 ≠ 2508. Options B, D also incorrect.
