    Option c. 104 people

    Step-by-step explanation:

    For 1 desk : 4 people

    For 2 desks: 6 people

    For 3 desks: 8 people

    For 51 desks:

    We can see the pattern in the number of people that can be seated on the tables.

    Using arithmetic series: 4,6,8, ...

    a (n) = a1 + (n-1) d

    n = 51

    d = a2 - a1 = 6 - 4 = 2

    a (51) = 4 + (51 - 1) 2

    = 4 + (50) 2

    = 4 + 100

    = 104
