Correct answer: A

Concept: When every person in a circular arrangement faces the CENTRE, 'immediate right' and 'immediate left' are the mirror image of what an outside observer would call clockwise and anticlockwise. The key point is that this reversal is the SAME for every seat around the circle, so moving 'to a person's right' always means moving one fixed rotational direction all the way around. Chaining every 'X is to the right of Y' or 'X sits between Y and Z' clue in that single consistent direction reconstructs the whole seating order, and any position can then be read off directly.

  1. F is the immediate right of A, so in the fixed right-direction chain: A → F.

  2. G sits between F and C, so G is adjacent to both. A already occupies the seat on F's other side, so G must continue the chain on F's free side, giving A → F → G → C.

  3. E is a neighbour of both A and D. F already holds the seat to A's right, so E must sit on A's other side, and D must be E's remaining neighbour, giving D → E → A → F → G → C.

  4. The one person not yet placed, B, fills the single remaining seat and closes the circle after C, giving the complete right-direction order: D → E → A → F → G → C → B → (back to D).

Cross-check: Reading this order against every original clue confirms it — E's two neighbours are D and A; G's two neighbours are F and C; and F sits immediately to A's right. All three conditions hold at once, so this is the only arrangement consistent with the clues.

Result: In the order D → E → A → F → G → C → B, the seat immediately to the right of G is occupied by C.
