Answer: Option 'c' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of children be 'c'.

According to question,

"There are 9 more children than parents in a room.

Let the number of parents would be 'p'.

According to question, it becomes,

c-p=9\\\\c-9=p

As there are total 25 people in the room = 25

So, it becomes,

c+p=25\\\\c+c-9=25\\\\2c-9=25\\\\2c=34\\\\c=17

Hence, there are 17 children and 17-9 = 8 parents.

Therefore, option 'c' is correct.
