E Correct answer
Explanation

Setting John's weight as 100 units, Marcia weighs 50 (half of John). Marcia's weight is 60% of Bob's weight, so Bob = 50/0.6 = 166.67 units. Lee weighs 190% of John, so Lee = 190 units. Dave weighs 50% of Lee, so Dave = 95 units. Ordering from least to greatest: Marcia (50) < Dave (95) < John (100) < Bob (166.67) < Lee (190).
