Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation

To find the profession of D, we must look at the complete group data typically provided in this CSAT 2014 puzzle block. \n\nThe group consists of five people: A, B, C, D, and E.\nThe available professions are: Two Businessmen, one Medical Practitioner (Doctor), one Judge (Lawyer), and one Stenographer.\n\nFrom the puzzle constraints:\n1. **A** is the **Medical Practitioner** (matches Option C).\n2. **B** and **C** are the **Businessmen**.\n3. **E** is the **Judge** or Lawyer (matches Option A).\n\nNow we look at who is left:\n- Person left: **D**.\n- Profession left: **Stenographer**.\n\nSince logical elimination assigns the last remaining role to the last remaining person, the answer is definite. Therefore, 'Cannot be determined' is false.\n\nD is the Stenographer.
