Calvin failed and Bruton tripped, Jenkins was closest. Therefore Jenkins tackled the receiver.

It doesn't say that Jenkins tackled anybody. Calvin tried to tackle but missed. Here, The question was which defensive player tackles the receiver, not which defensive player succeed in tackling the receiver.

Look the picture friends if calvin and burton falls its very obvious that jenkins will defend.because ball carrier will face jenkins before zeller
jenkins
zeller calvin<<<ball carrier
burton (falls)
(falls)
jenkins
zeller calvin<<<ball carrier
burton (falls)
(falls)

I think the problem is well worded. The way I did it.
WR = 1.
Calvin =-1.
jenkins = burton =-1.
zeller = -2.
After when they try to tackle,
Calvin trips = -3.
Burton trips = -2.
zeller who started behind everyone = -2.
jenkins is the closest = -1.
This worked for me.

The explanation itself is wrong. @Stanley your method is too complex for me so I'll make a drawing for everyone that helped me.
Receiver.
Calvin.
Jenkins Burton.
Zeller.
Calvin falls, Burton trips. As Zeller is behind Calvin and Burton he MAY have a problem getting around them which leaves us Jenkins who can easily run from the left side to tackle the Receiver/Carrier.
