C Correct answer
Explanation

Statement II alone gives x: 35% of (8 + x) = 14, so (8 + x) = 40, thus x = 32. Statement I sets up the mixture structure but without x, we can't determine the new quantities. Both together are needed as claimed - II provides x, I explains what x represents in the context.
