The correct answer choice is (E)

The condition in the question stem establishes that H is presented fourth. When considered alone, the fourth rule indicates that F must be presented third or fifth. However, the presence of the supersequence makes it impossible for F to be presented fifth because there would not be sufficient room for K, L, and J to be presented later. Thus, F must be presented third, and K, L, and J after:

Because G cannot be presented first, G must be presented second, leaving S to be presented first:

Accordingly, answer choice (E) is correct. Note how the very last variable placed (S, a random) is the variable that produces the correct answer.
