The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Find the total number of students at the University.
From the Arts data, \( 0.23x = 1049 \), so \( x \approx 4560 \).

Step 2: Find the number of Science students.
Science is 21% of the total, so Science strength \( = 0.21 \times 4560 \approx 958 \) students.

Step 3: Find 6% of the Science students.
Asian students in Science \( = 0.06 \times 958 \approx 57.5 \), which rounds to 57.

Step 4: Rule out the other options.
48, 66 and 120 do not equal \( 0.06 \times 958 \), so only 57 is correct.

Final Answer:
About 57 Asian students study Science. \[ \boxed{57} \]
