C Correct answer
Explanation

From statements 1 and 2, we know Josh saw more movies than Stephen, and Darren saw more movies than Stephen. However, these statements don't establish the relationship between Darren and Josh. Statement 3 claims Darren saw more movies than Josh, but this could be true or false based on the given information.

AI explanation

From the two true statements, Josh saw more movies than Stephen, and Stephen saw fewer than Darren (so Darren saw more than Stephen). This tells us both Josh and Darren rank above Stephen, but gives no direct comparison between Josh and Darren themselves. So whether 'Darren saw more movies than Josh' is true cannot be determined — it is UNCERTAIN.
