Explanation

Let's analyze the given conditions carefully:

  1. Four children: A, B, C, and D are sitting in a row.
  2. A is sitting next to B but not next to C.
  3. C is not sitting next to D.

Step-by-step Placement:

  • Since A is next to B but not next to C, A and C cannot be adjacent.
  • C is not next to D, meaning D must be placed in a way that avoids C.

Now, let's arrange them:

Possible arrangement:

  • Since A must be adjacent to B and not C, let’s consider a possible order:
    • Here, A is next to B.
    • A is not next to C (which satisfies the first condition).
    • C is not next to D (which satisfies the second condition).

C B A D

Now, looking at who is adjacent to D:

  • In C B A D, A is the only one adjacent to D.

Thus, the correct answer is:
B: A
