There are several seating arrangements possible. But the answer. For the question is C only. Bcz, if Taud is coming in between Paul and Jack, either Robert should be at the right end or Jack should be near to Simon. Those are not possible.

_HLMP_ _ _are fixed positions.

If, _HLMPTJ_.

RHLMPTJS (J and S together not possible).
Or,
SHLMPTJR (at least one should be right to R- so this combination also not possible).

All other answers A, B and D are not strictly incorrect. They are possible options.
