B Correct answer
Explanation

We are given that A visited at 8 O’clock. Now from III we conclude that A visited at 8 p.m. Now from I we concluded that B has to visit at 9 a.m. otherwise nobody will be able to visit in between A & B. Now if D were to visit at 11 p.m. then condition IV will get violated hence we conclude that D visited at 11 a.m. and C visited at 10 p.m. From here all the questions are answered.
