Here's what we have in the very beginning:
1 3 Y 7 9
2 R 6 8 10
1 yellow on each side, across/adjacent must be different
The question says green is in 7. This means a red or yellow must be in 9, and since we already have a yellow on that side, a red must be in 9.
1 3 Y G R
2 R 6 8 10
3 can't be red or yellow, so it must be green.
1 G Y G R
2 R 6 8 10
6 can't be yellow or red, so it must be green.
1 G Y G R
2 R G 8 10
The only choice that can never be true is (D).
