Correct answer: D
Concept: In a circular seating arrangement, fix one person at a reference seat because rotating the whole circle does not change relative positions.
For people facing the centre, left is clockwise and right is counter-clockwise. Apply every clue in one consistent direction.
Application
Fix M at position 0. Place B immediately clockwise from M and R three positions clockwise from M.
The clues E is second to the left of G and U is immediately to the left of E form a clockwise chain G → E → U, with one seat between G and E.
Among the unoccupied positions, this chain fits only as G at 2, E at 4, and U at 5. The remaining seat, position 6, belongs to S.
From S, count four positions to the right, that is counter-clockwise: U (1), E (2), R (3), G (4). Therefore, G sits fourth to the right of S.
Cross-check
The clockwise order M → B → G → R → E → U → S satisfies every given clue. Counting counter-clockwise from S again reaches G in four moves, confirming the result.
