Hehehehe, I thought I was in the physio forum 
Going back to your question, I hope I don't get chopped off but think the answer is C.
Reasoning? I think if Air>Bone, it's either normal or neural deficit (presbycusis, schwannoma etc). But if Bone>Air, then it's either some type of blockage (ie, cerum), infection (otitis media); or otosclerosis.
