From the question, we have the following:

1/5 before lunch

3/7 after lunch

Before : After

(1/5 : 3/7) = 7/35 : 15/35

Therefore,

After lunch - Before lunch:

= 15/35 - 7/35

= 8/35

Therefore, what was uploaded after lunch was 8/35 more than before lunch.

So, the correct option is C, which is 8/35.
