Correct answer: B

First find the letters preceded by a digit: E (after 3), M (after 9), A (after 6).
Now check what follows each: E is followed by #, M by U, A by &.
E and A satisfy both conditions, so the count is 2.

Worth noting

M is preceded by a digit but followed by a letter, so it fails the second condition. Check both sides of every candidate.
