D Correct answer
Explanation

Working through the chain: Fred>Dave>George>Ian>John>Colin>Edward makes Edward youngest. Also, Fred>Barry and Harry>Dave, but these don't affect Edward's status. The key is following Ian>George, then George>Ian>John>Colin>Edward creates contradictions unless we read carefully: IanDave, confirming Edward is youngest.
