Last academic year Yolanda and Zelda took different courses that did not necessarily administer the same number of quizzes during each of the two semesters. Yolanda's average on all the quizzes she took during the first semester was 3 points higher than Zelda's average on all the quizzes she took during the first semester.

Which one of the following statements cannot possibly be true? (A) Yolanda's quiz average for the academic year was 22 points higher than Zelda's. (B) Zelda's quiz average for the academic year was higher than Yolanda's. (C) Yolanda's quiz average for the academic year was 3 points higher than Zelda's. (D) Zelda's quiz average for the academic year equaled Yolanda's.
