Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=12828)
The correct answer choice is (C)
If both photographs in Lifestyle are by H, Template 3 provides the only possible solution, immediately validating answer choice (C).
Without the use of templates, a local setup would be in order. If Lifestyle has two photographs by H, then Sports must have exactly two photographs by F (in compliance with the third rule). Since each photographer must have at least one photograph, and both Lifestyle and Sports are now maxed out, we can infer that G must have a photograph in Metro. G cannot have more than one photograph in Metro, however, because Metro and Lifestyle must have at least one photographer in common (second rule), which means that the other photograph in Metro is by H:
Answer choices (A) and (B) are incorrect, because exactly two of the photographs are by F.
Answer choice (C) is the correct answer choice.
Answer choice (D) is incorrect, because exactly one of the photographs is by G.
Answer choice (E) is incorrect, because exactly three of the photographs are by H.
