Answer:

A. 3

Explanation:

Fist, we need to figure out how many students said "dogs" and how many said "cats".

30% of 40 is...

40 x .30 = 12.

12 people said dogs.

22.5% of 40 is...

40 x .225 = 9

9 people said cats.

If 12 people said dogs, and 9 people said cats, then 3 more people said dogs than cats.
