Solution

The correct option is C
France

The answer options are 2-3-4-6 ranked teams which have no chance of playing Brazil (1) in the Final.
Rank 1 (Brazil) will have to meet rank 4 in the semi-final after which they can never play in the final. The right answer is option (c)
In the ideal scenario, 1 will play 2 in final so option (d) Italy is incorrect
Rank 2 will play rank 3 in the semifinals so it's possible for rank 3 to beat rank 2 and meet Brazil in the finals; so option (a) is incorrect. Rank 2 can also meet with rank 6 in the semi-finals if rank 6 beats rank 3 in the quarter-finals and hence even rank 6 has a possibility of reaching the final by replacing 2 and without having the chance to have an encounter with brazil (rank 1); so option (b) is incorrect
