Complete Question Explanation

The correct answer choice is (D).

If H is given on the second day of the training conference, then the only remaining space T can occupy is the 2nd seminar on the third day (T cannot be given on the first day due to the second rule, and if H is on the second day, then T cannot be on the second day due to the first rule. Thus, T must be given on the third day).

With H given on the second day, and T given on the third day, the remaining long seminar—N—must be given on the first day. Once N is given on the first day, the third rule is enacted, and P must also be given on the first day (as the 1st seminar). This information results in the following setup:

The only two remaining variables are G and O. Because T is already the final seminar given (and thus the second rule is satisfied), G and O are split between the second and third days: one of G and O is on the second day, and one of G and O is on the third day (as the 1st seminar). Hence, O can be given on the third day, and answer choice (D) is correct.
