Explanation

Total members in the club are 108. First, calculate the number of men. Two thirds of 108 is 72. Next, find the total number of women by subtracting the men from the total. 108 minus 72 equals 36 women. The question states that all members are married except for 9 women. To find the number of married women, subtract the unmarried women from the total number of women. 36 minus 9 equals 27. Therefore, there are 27 married women in the club. The correct option is C.
