For ROBERT, JACK, TAUD and SIMAN there are 3 combinations possible. RJTS, TJRS, JTRS. So the answer is not clear.

Option C is the correct answer if and only if "between" is interpreted such that X is between Y and Z if Y and Z are the immediate neighbors of X.
E.g. In configuration JHLMPTRS, M is between L and P, but M is not between L and T.
Were "between" interpreted in the looser sense, where X is between Y and Z if Y is anywhere on one side of X and Z is anywhere on the other side, then there are 3 possible combinations that would satisfy the 7 initial conditions as well as condition C.
