Answer:C

We start with Annika and 3 of her friends playing, meaning that there are 4 players. This must mean that there is a total of 4 \cdot 15 = 60 cards. If 2 more players joined, there would be 6 players, and since the cards need to be split evenly, this would mean that each player gets \frac{60}{6}=\boxed{\text{(C) 10}} Buffalo Shuffle-O cards each meaning that the final answer is 10.
