Let's test some values that satisfy the condition that \(a = bc\) and \(c > 0\)
case i: Since \(a = bc\) and \(c > 0\), one possible set of values is \(a=1\), \(b=1\) and \(c=1\)
We get:
Quantity A: 1
Quantity B: 1
In this case, the quantities are equal
case ii: Another possible set of values is \(a=6\), \(b=2\) and \(c=3\)
We get:
Quantity A: 6
Quantity B: 2
In this case, Quantity A is greater
Answer: D

But how about C>0. Does that mean B is negative?? or just ignore it?
I'm guessing here to be D, because there are multiple ways to meet the condition with different value of A and B.
