School C is the answer.

Explanation:

Lets make the table

School Total students surveyed Students who like sandwich

A 38 12

B 48 9

C 26 10

D 24 8

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lets find the percentage of students who like sandwiches.

School A :
`(12)/(38)*100= 31.58`%

School B :
`(9)/(48)*100= 18.75`%

School C :
`(10)/(26)*100= 38.46`%

School D :
`(8)/(24)*100= 33.33`%

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, comparing all values, we can see that school C has the highest percentage among all.

So, answer is school C.
