The correct answer choice is (A)

At first, this question appears to require more work because you are asked to analyze the instruments played with each piece. However, we know from the second rule that either N or T must be second. N and T have the fiddle in common, so it follows that a fiddle is always used with the second performance. Since each instrument only appears twice among the five pieces (the fiddle is used twice, the guitar is used twice, the harp is used twice, the lute is used twice, and the mandolin is used twice) and the fiddle must be played second, we can infer that the fiddle can never be played in both the third and fourth pieces. Hence, answer choice (A) is correct.
