Correct answer: C
Explanation
'Older than Isha but younger than Jatin' gives Jatin > Harsh > Isha (oldest first).
Kunal > Jatin, so Kunal > Jatin > Harsh > Isha.
The second oldest is Jatin.
Worth noting
Kunal is the oldest. 'But younger than' reverses the direction; turn every clue into the same '>' form before joining them.
