The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: From "L reaches immediately before G" sequence L, G. From "K follows immediately after G and is immediately followed by M" sequence G, K, M. Combined: L, G, K, M.
Step 2: "I is the last one" → I at the end. So partial sequence: ...... L, G, K, M, I. We need positions for J and H.
Step 3: "L does not immediately follow J" means J cannot be immediately before L. So J cannot be in position 3. Place J at position 1, H at position 2. Sequence: J, H, L, G, K, M, I. First is J. Therefore, option (A) is correct.
