Answer: (A)

Explanation: Let’s draw what these statements say:

  1.  There are at least Two Men and Two Women.
  2.  There are at least 3 Right Handed People.
  3. No women are Right Handed
    From above statement we can infer that there are three right handed men.
  4. Every woman has a left-handed person to her immediate right.

Now if we draw a diagram based on all the given information we would get something like this;
