C. 212

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by back-solving, so subtract 212 student tickets from the total, 326-212=114, then multiply the adult tickets by their price $8, 114x8=912, then do the same for the student tickets, 212x5=1060, finally add the money together to get $1972
