None of the answers is precisely correct.


The only thing that you know for certain is that the total number of chips in the three remaining cookies must be 43 in order for the claim to be true.  But none of the answers allows for the unlikely nevertheless possible eventuality that one of the remaining cookies has 41 chips and the other two remaining cookies have 1 chip each.  It is certainly true that the cookies in the entire bag must have different numbers of chips and we know this because 57 is not evenly divisible by 7.
