B Correct answer
Explanation

Initial mixture: 24L milk + 8L water = 32L total. After adding x liters milk and x liters water: milk = 24 + x, water = 8 + x. Given: 35% of new water quantity = 14L. So 0.35 × (8 + x) = 14. Solving: 8 + x = 14 / 0.35 = 40, so x = 32 liters. The answer is 32 liters (Option B).
