单选题 Three stacks containing equal numbers of chips are to be made from 9 red chips, 7 blue chips,and 5 green chips.If all of these chips are used and each stack contains at least 1 chip of each color, what is the maximum number of red chips in any one stack?
(A) 7 (B) 6 (C) 5
(D) 4 (E) 3

【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 因为筹码的总数为9+7+5=21,所以每堆中有7个筹码;又因为每堆中至少有每种颜色的一个筹码,所以在任一堆中红色筹码最多为5个,蓝色筹码最多为5个,绿色筹码最多为3个。
