ANSWER
'Some' and 'any' are indefinite numeral adjectives that tell us an indefinite number of something.
'Some' is generally used for positive statements and 'any' is used for negative statements.
For the first part of the sentence, 'some' is most suitable because it refers to a non-specific number of sandwiches, in the positive sense.
The second part, 'they didn't drink _____ milk at all' is negative. Hence, 'any' is more suitable for the second blank.
Option C has the required combination of 'some' and 'any', hence C is correct.
Option A: This option is incorrect because 'didn't' is already a negation itself, it does not need another negation 'no'. On the other hand, 'any' is used in negative statements where there already is a negative word.
Option B: This option is incorrect because 'any' is generally not used in positive sentences. Also, 'no' cannot be used either, due to the negation 'did not'.
Option D is incorrect because 'some' is not used in negative sentences 'they didn't drink ____ milk at all'.
