Explanation:

Let’s break this down, person by person:

- A is taller than E but shorter than F. So: F > A > E

- B and F aren’t the tallest, and C is the shortest. So someone else—D or A or E—is tallest.

- B is taller than F. Add that in: B > F > A > E

- And finally, C is at the very bottom. So: B > F > A > E > C, but D hasn’t been placed.

We’re missing D, but we know D must be the tallest (since F and B aren’t, C is shortest, and A isn’t taller than F).

Final order, tallest to shortest: D > B > F > A > E > C

Now, the question: Who comes between F and C?

Let’s check the chain: F > A > E > C

So between F and C, we’ve got A and E.

Here are the options:

- 1: B and E — no, B is before F.

- 2: A, B and E — nope, B is never between F and C.

- 3: A and E — this matches.

- 4: C and E — C can’t be between itself and F.

- 5: None of these — we’ve got a match so this is out.

So, the right answer is:

Option 3 - A and E
