Answer:

A. two

Read Explanation:

Let us solve it step by step.

Fix positions

Assume all are facing the centre, so:

Right = clockwise
Left = anticlockwise

Place E anywhere (reference point).

A is second to the right of E ⟹ A is 2 seats clockwise from E.
Only one person between D and A ⟹ D is 2 seats away from A.
- The only possible position (without conflict) places D correctly.

After fixing these, the remaining seats are arranged using:

B is third to the right of G
F is an immediate neighbour of B

A valid circular arrangement is obtained.

Count between D and E from the left of E

Count anticlockwise (left) from E to D.
You encounter 2 people in between.
