an assumption is made that the same 2 teachers are not teaching subject 102 and 105 for if they were then, only 2 teachers would be getting raises.
 

but if you go with 4 different teachers are teaching that class(2 groups of 2) then answer c would be correct.
 

I think C SHOULD say at least 2 teachers will be getting a raise.
 

but thats just my opinion. :)
