Correct answer
D. The person who works for HR Department
Step-by-step solution
To determine who sits to the immediate right of E, we evaluate the seating and department assignments for the seven friends:
- Fixed Positions: G (Marketing) faces the center, with C sitting third to his right.
- Neighbors and Directions: C's immediate neighbors face outside. E and C face the same direction (outside).
- Final Chain: D (Corporate Finance) is to the immediate left of E. Since E faces outside, his immediate right is the seat between C and G, which is occupied by the person in the HR Department (B).
Answer: (D) The person who works for HR Department
