Solution
The correct option is C 3 rd
The advocate is to the right of the student, who is standing between the professor and the advocate.
So, we have: Professor, Student. Advocate.
The author is to the left of businessman.
So, we have: Author, Businessman.
Since the professor and businessman are at the ends, the arrangement from left to right becomes: Professor, Student, Advocate, Author, Businessman.
Clearly, the advocate is third from the left.
