128.Tom and Jerry have two tasks to do all day: set traps and build bombs. If Tom spends all day setting traps, he will have set 16 traps. If he instead devotes his day to building bombs, Tom will build 4 bombs. If Jerry spends his day setting traps, he will set 14 traps; if he spends the day building bombs, he will build 7 bombs. At the end of the day, Tom could have:
A. either 16 traps and 4 bombs, or 8 traps and 2 bombs.
B. either 8 traps and 2 bombs, or 4 traps and 6 bombs.
C. either 8 traps and 2 bombs, or 4 traps and 4 bombs.
D. either 12 traps and 3 bombs, or 8 traps and 3 bombs.
