Explanation:

Let’s break it down, step by step:

-

A sits second to the right of B, who is right next to C. That sets one group: B–A (with one person between), and C as B’s neighbor.

-

D is a neighbor of E, and E is directly opposite B. That pins some seats down.

-

H doesn’t face outside (so H is facing in).

-

D is NOT a neighbor of A, nor does D sit directly across from C.

-

Between C and G: the number of seats is one less than between F and C, counted from right and left sides of C. F’s not immediately beside C.

Now to your question: How many people between H and C?

-

Run through the constraints—when you set them up, you’ll find the only arrangement that works leads to H and C having two people between them.

-

So, the options:

1. One

2. Two

3. Three

4. Four

5. More than four

Here’s the thing: Option 2, Two is the correct answer.
