Solution

The correct option is C 9 roses and 12 tulips
9 roses cannot be arranged completely in pairs or groups of 2s. After making 4 pairs, 1 rose will be left. So 9 is an odd number.
12 tulips can be arranged completely in pairs or groups of 2s. We can make 6 pairs. So 12 is an even number.
Kodus needs an odd number of roses and an even number of tulips. In option A both are odd numbers, in option B both are even numbers, and in option D roses are even and tulips are odd in number. So, only option C follows the same.
Hence, Kodus has 9 roses and 12 tulips.
