C Correct answer
Explanation

Statement I gives the relative positions of Ramesh, Shyam, and Milan, allowing us to calculate Milan's rank relative to Ramesh (17th). Statement II provides enough information about Suketu, Shyamala, and Savita to also fix Milan's position. Since both provide sufficient information independently, the answer is that either is sufficient.
