IGMP snooping is an optimization feature, so without it multicast traffic should still be passed.
This makes answers A and B unreasonable. Moreover IGMP snooping querier is needed if there is no multicast router. In our case there is no way to pass traffic from one VLAN to another without a router.

Answer C is tricky. There is no PIM join on VLAN 20 necessary as we have only source there.
But a multicast router with access to VLAN 20 will need a PIM join (on some other interface) to build multicast distribution tree. So the answer may be true.

Answer D is true. We will need some multicast router on VLAN 10 and some on VLAN 20 (may be the same).

I thing CD is correct.
