Complete Question Explanation

The correct answer choice is (C).

If the first call was Nonlocal, then only Template #2 can apply. In that template, when the first call is Nonlocal, then T—a Local call from the third rule—must be second. R and S then can rotate between the first and third calls:

• L/L:   _L_       _L_ _L_ _L_ _L_
  
  
  Calls: _R/S_ _T_       _S/R_   _Q_         _V_
  1 2 3       4 5

Under this scenario, exactly three calls can be determined—T, Q, and V—and thus answer choice (C) is correct.
