Answer 2

Answer:

The option c) C

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question

1. D is the shortest so it's position is 5th in height.
2. A is shorter than only E which means A is larger than all except E. So it's position is 2nd in height.
3. As A is shorter than only E, so E is the largest in the height.
4. B is larger than only one person which is D, so B is the 4th position holder.
5. Hence, C is remaining only, which is the 3rd largest in the five persons in height.

According to the question,

The heaviest person is the 3rd largest person in height, which is C.

Thus, our answer is option c) C.
