A: 14 of the 31 scientists that were Wolf Prize laureates had also received the Nobel Prize, so there were 14 + 31 = 45 Nobel Prize laureates in total. Of the scientists that had not received the Wolf Prize, there were 3 more than the number that had not received the Nobel Prize, so there were 3 + 45 - 3 = 48 scientists that had received the Nobel Prize. If 50 of the scientists attended that workshop, then 45 + 48 = 99 Nobel Prize laureates were present. The answer is (C).
