Solution

The correct option is A C
As we know in the magic square each line has the same sum, which is 15 here.

$I n f i r s t c o l u m n, 9 + 4 + A = 15 A = 15 - 13 = 2 . I n s e c o n d c o l u m n, 7 + 5 + C = 15 C = 15 - 12 = 3 . I n t h i r d c o l u m n, 6 + 8 + B = 15 B = 15 - 14 = 1 .$
Hence, C has the greatest value.
