A. 3 < xy < 11
B. 8 < xy < 19
C. 15 < xy < 88
D. 24 < xy < 55
E. 33 < xy < 40
For this kinda question we will always have 4 sets of value of xy.
1.At first multiply vertically: 15.......xy.......88
2. cross multiply: 33......xy.........88
Basing on these values you have to pick a choice that covers all these 4 values. Only option C works.
Thus the best answer is C.
