First recognize that, if two 2-digit numbers have a sum that is a 3-digit number, then the hundredth digit of the sum must be 1.
In other words, A = 1.
So we now have the following sum:
_1B
+B1
11C
If the sum 1B and B1 is a 3-digit number, then it must be the case that B = 9 (since 18 + 81 = 99, and 99 is not a 3-digit number)
If B = 9, the sum becomes:
_19
+91
11C
As we can see, C = 0
Answer: E
