C Correct answer
Explanation

Quantity I: Town A has 1000 people (500 men, 500 women). 70% total literate = 700 literate. Only 60% men literate = 300 literate men. So 400 literate women = 80% of women. Quantity II: Town B has 2000 people (1000 men, 1000 women). 45% total literate = 900 literate. Only 40% women literate = 400 literate women. So 500 literate men = 50% of men. 80% > 50%, so Quantity I > Quantity II.
