    Question


      
    In a school, 32 students study Maths, 28 study Physics, and 26 study Chemistry. If there are in total 40 students in the school and all of them study at least one of these subjects, what is the maximum number of students that could have studied all the three subjects?

    A.

    2

    B.

    4

    C.

    6

    D.

    8
