Let's double check HTML/MathML rules: - No display="block" - Use standard unicode for `-`, `+`, `=`, `⇒` - Separate paragraphs with `` - Ensure lines with `` have `` wrapping or `` before and after. Let's construct the output carefully.Box D The correct option is Box D. Step-by-step Explanation: Let us arrange the five boxes from top to bottom in 5 positions, where Position 5 is the top-most position and Position 1 is the bottom-most position. Step 1: Determine the positions of Box B, Box E, and the fruits Banana, Orange, and Apple. From the given information: 1. Box B contains Banana. 2. There is a two-box gap between Box E and Box B. 3. There is a two-box gap between the box containing Orange and the box containing Banana. Thus, Box E must contain Orange. 4. The box containing Apple is placed immediately below Box B (Banana). If Box E is at Position 5 (top) and Box B (Banana) is at Position 2: • Position 5: Box E (Orange) • Position 2: Box B (Banana) • Position 1: Immediately below Box B, so Position 1 contains Apple. Step 2: Determine the position of Mango and Guava. We are given that there is a one-box gap between Box E (Position 5) and the box containing Mango. • Position 5 is Box E, so leaving a gap of 1 box (Position 4), Position 3 must contain Mango. • The remaining fruit, Guava, must be at Position 4. Step 3: Place the remaining boxes (A, C, and D). 1. We are given that Box A is placed immediately above Box C. The only consecutive vacant positions available for Box A and Box C are Position 4 and Position 3. Position 4=Box A Position 3=Box C 2. The only remaining box is Box D, which must be placed at Position 1. Position 1=Box D Final Stack Breakdown (Top to Bottom): • Position 5: Box E - Orange • Position 4: Box A - Guava • Position 3: Box C - Mango • Position 2: Box B - Banana • Position 1: Box D - Apple Therefore, Box D contains Apple.

The correct option is Box D.
Step-by-step Explanation:
Let us arrange the five boxes from top to bottom in 5 positions, where Position 5 is the top-most position and Position 1 is the bottom-most position.
Step 1: Determine the positions of Box B, Box E, and the fruits Banana, Orange, and Apple. From the given information: 1. Box B contains Banana. 2. There is a two-box gap between Box E and Box B. 3. There is a two-box gap between the box containing Orange and the box containing Banana. Thus, Box E must contain Orange. 4. The box containing Apple is placed immediately below Box B (Banana).
If Box E is at Position 5 (top) and Box B (Banana) is at Position 2: • Position 5: Box E (Orange) • Position 2: Box B (Banana) • Position 1: Immediately below Box B, so Position 1 contains Apple.
Step 2: Determine the position of Mango and Guava. We are given that there is a one-box gap between Box E (Position 5) and the box containing Mango. • Position 5 is Box E, so leaving a gap of 1 box (Position 4), Position 3 must contain Mango. • The remaining fruit, Guava, must be at Position 4.
Step 3: Place the remaining boxes (A, C, and D). 1. We are given that Box A is placed immediately above Box C. The only consecutive vacant positions available for Box A and Box C are Position 4 and Position 3. Position 4=Box A Position 3=Box C 2. The only remaining box is Box D, which must be placed at Position 1. Position 1=Box D
Final Stack Breakdown (Top to Bottom): • Position 5: Box E - Orange • Position 4: Box A - Guava • Position 3: Box C - Mango • Position 2: Box B - Banana • Position 1: Box D - Apple
Therefore, Box D contains Apple.
