Jose is $4$ years younger than Zack. Zack is $3$ years older than Inez. Inez is $15$ years old. How old is Jose?

$\text{(A)}\ 8 \qquad \text{(B)}\ 11 \qquad \text{(C)}\ 14 \qquad \text{(D)}\ 16 \qquad \text{(E)}\ 22$

Zack is $3$ years older than Inez, who is $15$ . Therefore, Zack is $15 + 3 = 18$ years old.

Jose is $4$ years younger than Zack, who is $18$ . Therefore, Jose is $18 - 4 = 14$ years old, and the answer is $\boxed{C}$ .
