ii) T is never found on either end of a chain.
iii) If W appears in a chain, it appears more than once.
iv) X is never found next to Y in a chain.
v) W is never found on the end of a chain unless Z is found somewhere in the chain.

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Substitute each letter for the dash and test each result.
I. Z W W Z. This is consistent with all of the initial conditions, so this is a possible chain.
II. W W W Z. This is consistent with all of the initial conditions, so this is a possible chain.
III. T W W Z. This violates the condition that T may not be on the end of a chain, so this is not a possible chain.
