Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Answer: A is the tallest.
E is taller than two friends, so E has exactly two people shorter than them and is in the middle (3rd position).
B is taller than E but not the tallest, so B must be above E but cannot be first; thus B is 2nd.
D is taller than only C, so D has exactly one person shorter (C). Therefore D is 4th and C is 5th (shortest).
The only remaining person is A, so A must be the tallest. Final order: A > B > E > D > C.
