• D. If data in both statements I and II put together are not sufficient to answer the question.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. If data in both statements I and II are needed to answer the question

From I, we have: D > A, D> C, From II, we have: E >B > D. Combining the above two, we get: E > B> D> (A and C). So, E is the tallest. Clearly, both the statements are needed to answer the question
