    Answer : Option C

    Explanation :

    99 = 1 x 3 x 3 x 11

    101 = 1 x 101

    176 = 1 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 11

    182 = 1 x 2 x 7 x 13

    So, divisors of 99 are 1, 3, 9, 11, 33, .99

    Divisors of 101 are 1 and 101

    Divisors of 176 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 16, 22, 44, 88 and 176

    Divisors of 182 are 1, 2, 7, 13, 14, 26, 91 and 182.

    Hence, 176 has the most number of divisors.
