(A) I only
(B) II only
(C) III only
(D) I and II
(E) II and III

Arrange so that you have a string: $$u>t$$, $$t>r$$, $$r>q$$ and $$s>t$$ (this one do not fit so far).

So we have that: $$u>t>r>q$$;

Next, as $$s>t$$, then $$s$$ can be more as well as less than $$u$$, so the final ordering is either $$u>s>t>r>q$$ or $$s>u>t>r>q$$

Hence, II and III are always true, but I may or may not be true.

Answer: E.

P.S. You can also use number line to mark the variables and visualize it.

from the question we can establish
u - t > 0, r - q > 0, s - t > 0, and t - r > 0
(u - t) + (t -r ) >0 ==> u > r III holds
(r - q) +(t - r) > 0 ==> t > q Since s > t and t > q ==> s > q II holds
