B) No
C) Not enough information to be certain

Just post your answer initially, reasons can follow later.

Why you didn't wait a few seconds

I saw your post after the submition

[mudskipper]

Y = married, n = not married. ( -> = looking at)
Y -> ? -> N

Assuming married is a binary state, it's either

Y -> Y -> N

or

Y -> N -> N

either of the above makes the statement true.


Although not sure that married people should be looking at unmarried people quite so blatantly. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's ass.
