Solution

The correct option is A Seat number 8
Since Dennis wants to occupy the middle seat, we need to find the median position of the seats.

From the above statement, we know that there are 15 seats.

Counting them, we see:

There will be 7 chairs on the either side, and Dennis should occupy the 8th chair.

Hence, Dennis should select seat number 8.
