Since this problem involves division, we are going to do the opposite of it, which is multiplication. We are going to multiply the quotient by the denominator, the answer would be correct if the answer equals the numerator.
The answer would be C!

Let's say Diana is "x" years old today.
in 3 years, she's going to be " x + 3 " years old.
33 years ago, she was " x - 33 " old.
how much is 4 times that anyway? well 4(x-33), that's 4 times as 33 years ago her age.
now, we know in 3 years, x+3, she'll be "<span>4 times as old as she was 33 years ago", 4(x-33), therefore, those amounts are equal then,
</span>
<span>
why is it most logical to use "x" for her age today?
well, because 3 years from now is just x + 3
and
33 years ago is x - 33, 4 times that is 4( x - 33 ).
works very well as a point of reference.</span>
