Explanation:

Here, the data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.

Hence, the correct answer is option A.

Common Explanation:

From Statement I:

Reference:

B is taller than C and D but shorter than E who is not the tallest.

Inference:

Using the given information we can arrange these persons in the decreasing order of their height.
Decreasing order of height → A > E > B > C/D > D/C
Here, in the above arrangement it is clear that A is the tallest.
Hence, data in statement I alone is sufficient.

From Statement II:
Reference:
E is taller than B and C but shorter than A.
Inference:
Using the given information we can arrange these persons in the decreasing order of their height.
Decreasing order of height → A > E > B/C > C/B
Here, in the above arrangement we have no information about D.
