Right Answer is: B

SOLUTION

Combining all the letters of the two roman numerals, XXXVIII and XII, we get:
XXXX V IIIII         
IIIII can  be written as V, So the number becomes
XXXX V V             
Now, the VV can  be written as X, So the number becomes XXXXX.
Now the XXXXX can be written as L.
Hence, XXXVIII  + XII = L.
