Correct answer: C

Tallest first: Faiz > Ekta > Dev > Arun > Bani > Charles.
The tallest stands at the right end, so counting from the right follows this order.
Arun is 4th in the order, so he is 4th from the right end.

Worth noting

3 is Arun's position from the LEFT end (Charles, Bani, Arun). Decide which end the tallest is at before counting.
