Solution

The correct option is B palace

From the given information we get the following table :

$\begin{matrix} Name & C & D & A & B & E Colour~ liked & R e d, B l u e & B l a c k & B l u e, R e d & Y e l l o w & - Stays~in & - & - & - & P a l a c e & H o t e l \end{matrix}$

Since the person living in a place does not like black or blue, that person cannot be C, D or A. So the person who lives in a palace will be either B or E. But E lives in a hotel. Hence M must live in a palace.
