    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    I. Total candidates interviewed by 3 panels = (15 x 3) = 45.

    II. Let x candidates be interviewed by C.

    Number of candidates interviewed by A = (x + 2).

    Number of candidates interviewed by B = (x + 1).

     x + (x + 2) + (x + 1) = 45

     3x = 42

     x = 14

    Hence, the correct answer is (B).
