The correct answer choice is (D)

A glance at the answer choices to this question shows that the answers are numerical in nature. Thus, refer to the distributions to answer this question.

If F and S are assigned to the same floor, the 3-3-1 must be in effect (F and S are assigned to different floors in the 4-2-1). This information immediately eliminates answer choices (B), (C), and (E), each of which feature exactly 2 or 4 departments on a floor.

In the 3-3-1, L would still be on the top or bottom floor (again, due to the interaction of the HI block and L), and this information then eliminates answer choice (A).

Accordingly, answer choice (D) is correct.
