  • BEvery application submitted on or before the closing date was funded
  • CEvery application that was read by two reviewers was funded
  • DKavita's application was submitted on or before the closing date

Step-by-Step Solution

Kavita's application was funded, so it was read by two reviewers, so it was read by at least one. But nothing submitted late was read by anyone, so hers cannot have been late. The second and third options reverse the stated rules, and nothing in the report says anything about scores.
Answer: D) Kavita's application was submitted on or before the closing date
