D Correct answer
Explanation

Original total age = 18 × 16.25 = 292.5 years = 292 years 6 months. New total age for 14 students = 14 × 15.25 = 213.5 years = 213 years 6 months. Difference = 292.5 - 213.5 = 79 years, which is the total age of 4 students who left. Average age of students who left = 79/4 = 19.75 years = 19 years 9 months. This matches option D.
