Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Based on the constraints:
1. Rachel is at the left side (Position 1).
2. Maria is second from right (Position 4).
3. Sandra and Maria are together, so Sandra must be at Position 3 (to the left of Maria).
4. Carla is next to Sandra, placing her at Position 2.
5. Sara must be next to Maria and not with Rachel, so Sara is at Position 5 (Extreme Right).
Thus, Option A is correct.
