Complete Question Explanation

The correct answer choice is (C)

If V is in space 5, both templates are still in play:

• Template #1:
  
  In this template, when V is in space 5, then O must be in space 2. From the fourth rule, T cannot be next to V, and thus T must be in space 3. R1 must then be in space 4, leaving S, the random, for space 6:

• Template #2:
  
  In this template, when V is in space 5, then O must be in space 6. R2 must then be in space 4. S and T, the only remaining two variables, then rotate between spaces 2 and 3:

In both templates an R is in space 4, and thus answer choice (C) must be true and is correct.
