Answer 3

I apologize for the confusion. Upon reviewing the statements again, it appears that statement B is correct.

B - The integer 25 represents the new shipment.

Statement E is still incorrect as it states that there are 26 copies available after Monday's sales, which contradicts statement D that asserts there are 35 copies available.
