Explanation
With 8 chairs, opposite seats are 4 apart. C and D, each equidistant from both A and B, must be opposite each other with A and B opposite each other too: placing A at 0 and B at 4 puts C and D at 2 and 6. E sits between A and C, fixing E at 1 (with C at 2, D at 6). G and F opposite each other must occupy 3 and 7, leaving H at 5, which is adjacent to D at 6. Hence (a).
