I agree with @Colleen, @Mike and @Yamini. Which three kinds of cereal are we talking about? We can't assume that they mean the three kinds mentioned on the second line, where rice is included. The uncertainty might pertain to the question rather than the answer, but "Uncertain" seems the most logical answer here.

Five types of cereal: O C R B W.
O > C and O < B.
C > R and C < W.
Witch yield:
B > O > C > R also in a same time W > C > R.
Even though we know nothing about W, we can pick any three cereals and all of them will be > R
Example:
B > R or O > R or C > R or W > R
O > C and O < B.
C > R and C < W.
Witch yield:
B > O > C > R also in a same time W > C > R.
Even though we know nothing about W, we can pick any three cereals and all of them will be > R
Example:
B > R or O > R or C > R or W > R

C > R.
C < W.
Then C > R > W?
C < W.
Then C > R > W?

Do this problem like below:
(CC = Corn Cereal ,WC = Wheat Cereal like the same for others ).
First statement :BC > OC > CC.
Second statement:WC > CC > RC.
So RC is least....!
