D Correct answer
Explanation

Total T-shirts = 43. Ann has 10. Others have 43 - 10 = 33. There are 3 others (Jack, Carl, Linda). Average = 33 / 3 = 11.

AI explanation

The total number of T-shirts is 43, and Ann owns 10 of them, leaving 33 T-shirts for the other three people. The average number of T-shirts owned by each of the others is the remaining total divided by 3. Dividing 33 by 3 yields an average of 11.
