Correct Solution: Option A

Step-by-step Solution:

Who is in the second place by weight?

Step 1: Analyze the given information

D and F are lighter than B → D < B, F < B
E is lighter than C → E < C
B is lighter than E → B < E
The grandfather is the heaviest.
C is a lady and is neither the heaviest nor the lightest.

Step 2: Combine the inequalities

From B < E and E < C, we get: B < E < C.
Since D and F are lighter than B, we have: D < B < E < C and F < B < E < C.

Step 3: Identify heaviest and second heaviest

The grandfather is the heaviest.
C is not the heaviest but also not the lightest.
From the chain, C is heavier than B, E, D, and F.
Thus, if the grandfather is the heaviest, then C is second heaviest.

Final Answer:

The correct option is (A) C.
