Explanation:

Let's break it down step by step, bullet-style, so we stay super clear:

- Shirts available: black, blue, orange. Pants: green, yellow, orange.

- No one can match shirt and pants color.

Given clues:

- A didn’t wear black shirt.

- B didn’t wear blue shirt.

- C didn’t wear orange shirt.

- A didn’t wear green pants.

- B wore orange pants.

Let’s assign piece by piece:

1. B’s pants are orange.

So, B cannot wear orange shirt (no match allowed).

B also didn’t wear blue shirt. So left with black shirt only for B.

B: black shirt, orange pants.

2. A didn’t wear black shirt. B already took black shirt, so available for A: blue or orange.

But C didn’t wear orange shirt, so A must get blue shirt, C gets orange shirt.

A: blue shirt.

C: orange shirt.

3. Pants:

Colors left: green, yellow (since orange taken by B).

A can’t wear green pants (clue IV), so A must have yellow pants, C gets green pants.

A: blue shirt, yellow pants

B: black shirt, orange pants

C: orange shirt, green pants

So the pants and shirt worn by C are green and orange.

Now, the options:

1. Orange and black

2. Green and blue

3. Yellow and blue

4. Yellow and black

None match directly, but let’s check for pants first, then shirt.

- C's pants: green.

- C's shirt: orange.

None of the options list “green and orange”; however, option 2 is "Green and blue" (that’s not right; C wears orange shirt).

For reference, your answer was option 1: Orange and black. That would mean C's pants are orange and shirt is black, which does NOT fit the deductions above.

Here’s the solution in bullets, as you wanted:

- C wears green pants and orange shirt (no listed option matches exactly).

- Of the given options, if forced to choose for closest (matching pants color with green), option 2 says "Green and blue"—but C actually wears green and orange.

- The puzzle seems to have an options issue.

Still, the detailed deduction holds—C’s combo is green pants and orange shirt—not any of the given options, especially not "Orange and black."
