Explanation: The question asks: Is \(m\) a multiple of 12? **Statement 1:** \(m\) is divisible by 6. Possible values for \(m\): 6, 12, 18, 24, ... If \(m=6\) or \(18\), the answer is NO. If \(m=12\) or \(24\), the answer is YES. **Not Sufficient.**. **Statement 2:** \(m\) is divisible by 8. Possible values for \(m\): 8, 16, 24, 32, ... If \(m=8\) or \(16\), the answer is NO. If \(m=24\), the answer is YES. **Not Sufficient.**. **Statements 1 and 2 TOGETHER:** \(m\) must be a multiple of both 6 and 8. The least common multiple (LCM) of 6 and 8 is 24. Possible values for \(m\) are multiples of 24: 24, 48, 72, 96, ... Since 12 is a factor of 24, all multiples of 24 are also multiples of 12. Therefore, \(m\) is definitively divisible by 12. **Sufficient.**. The answer is C.
