D Correct answer
Explanation

Latin in the morning occupies 9-11am all five days. Sanskrit on M-W-F occupies 10am-12pm. Armenian on M-W-F occupies 12:30-2pm. This means on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday: Latin is 9-11, Sanskrit is 10-12, and Armenian is 12:30-2. This creates an impossible overlap where Sanskrit and Latin would both need to occupy 10-11am on those three days.
