According to the rules of the university’s housing lottery, the only students guaranteed dormitory rooms are fourth-year students. In addition, any fourth-year student on the dean’s list can choose a dormitory room before anyone who is not a fourth-year student. Which one of the following inferences is most strongly supported by the rules described above?
(A) Benizer is a fourth-year student who is not on the dean’s list, so she is not guaranteed a dormitory room.
(B) Ivan and Naomi are both fourth-year students but only Naomi is on the dean’s list. Therefore, Ivan can choose a dormitory room before Naomi.
(C) Halle, a third-year student, is on the dean’s list. Thus, she is guaranteed a dormitory room.
(D) Gerald and Katrina are both on the dean’s list but only Gerald is a fourth-year student. Thus, Gerald can choose a dormitory room before Katrina.
(E) Anissa is a fourth-year student who is on the dean’s list. Thus, since Jehan is a second-year student who is also on the dean’s list, he can choose a dormitory room before Anissa.
(A) Benizer is a fourth-year student who is not on the dean’s list, so she is not guaranteed a dormitory room.

Rule 1. guaranteed dorm rooms ---> 4th year students
Rule 2. 4th year can choose room before other students if 4th year student is on dean's list.
(A) Incorrect, she is 4th year so guaranteed a room.
(B) Incorrect, opposite of rule 2.
(C) Incorrect as per rule 1.
(D) Correct, no rule is violated.
(E) Incorrect, violates rule 2.
IMO D.
Hope it helps.
