D Correct answer
Explanation

With Celtic requiring a Friday session, we check compatibility. If Sanskrit is on M-W-F (10am-12pm), Celtic can use Friday 1-4pm or 2-4pm (valid). If Armenian is on M-W-F (12:30-2pm), Celtic would need Friday but can only use 9-12:30 or 2:30-4 - insufficient for required 4-hour session. Thus we can choose either Sanskrit M-W-F OR Armenian M-W-F, but not both.
