Explanation:

Let’s dig into what these clues really say before we look at the options.

- Each girl sits facing outward, so “left” and “right” switch compared to if they were facing in.

- B is second to the left of D. So: D – (one) – B.

- F is third to the left of B. So: B – (two) – F.

- A is second to the left of F. So: F – (one) – A.

- C is second to the left of A. So: A – (one) – C.

- G is third to the left of E. So: E – (two) – G.

Now about the options:

- Option 1: A, C, E — all are separated from each other, and don’t appear to be neighbors.

- Option 2: D, B, H — D & B are neighbors (remember, B is second left of D), but H seems unrelated.

- Option 3: D, H, G — D and G are far apart; H doesn’t fit an adjacency or “second/third left” clue from the list.

- Option 4: C, E, F — Once you line them up, you notice: in the sequence built from the clues, C, E, and F are not directly linked.

Here’s the pattern among three of these options: Each group in Options 1, 2, and 4 includes pairs that have *a fixed spacing* (like second left or third left relationships) according to the clues, and can be traced around the table. In Option 3, D, H, and G don’t share this link at all—they’re unrelated in the context of the arrangement.

So the outlier—the one that doesn’t fit the others by spacing logic—is Option 3: D, H, G.

Option 3 is the correct answer.
