A Correct answer
Explanation

With Latin in afternoon (2-4pm) and Armenian on M-W-F (12:30-2pm), Celtic has maximum flexibility. On Tuesday and Thursday, Celtic can use any 4-hour block 9am-4pm (8 options: 9-1, 9-2, 9-3, 9-4, 10-2, 10-3, 10-4, 11-3, 12-4). On M-W-F, Celtic can use 9-12:30 or 11:30-4. This combination leaves the most available slots.
