Good question +1. We are asked if n is odd given that 'a' and 'n' are integers.
From statement 1 we have that 'n' must be odd so that if 'a' is negative then negative ^ even is positive > negative^ odd. Therefore sufficient.
Statement 2 tells s that n must be odd otherwise if n is even then both numbers will have even exponent and there's no way that a^even> a^3even.
Therefore D is the correct answer choice
Hope it clarifies
Cheers!
