Answer: A. 9 incorrect answers

If all 80 questions were correct, the score would be 80 * 35 = 2800.
The difference between 2800 and her actual score (2125) is 675.
Every time she gets an answer wrong, she loses 35 points (the gain) PLUS 40 points (the deduction), which is 75 points.
Total incorrect answers = 675 / 75 = 9.
