- A. Ali
- B. Bilal
- C. Chand
- D. Danish
Explanation
The chain runs Bilal below Ali, Ali below Chand and Chand below Danish, so Danish is at the top. Writing the names in a single line from lowest to highest as each clue is read prevents confusion. Ranking questions are almost always solved by building one ordered line.
