Their lines intersect at this point, which mean that they did the same thing, so it can't be A or D, and we dont know the total number of pages so we can't for sure say it's B.

So it's C, because we can see that the point is on 10 for the x-axis, which represents # of nights, and 150 for the y-axis, which represents # of pages read.
