Well the lowest common multiple (LCM) means the lowest common whole number that all three numbers share when multiplied by a number greater than 1.
So

So 70 is the LCM.
The greatest common divisor (GCD) is the biggest whole number that can be divided into all three numbers. This must be 5.

The difference between the LCM and GCD is 65. So c).
Does that make sense?
