The expression you've given is in Roman numerals, and we need to find the sum of these numerals:

IX + XV + XX

First, let's convert each Roman numeral to its decimal equivalent:

IX = 9
XV = 15
XX = 20

Now, add these values together:

9 + 15 + 20 = 44

So, the sum of the expression IX + XV + XX is 44.

The correct answer is (c) 44.
