Sure!

Let's start by making a mini-diagram and putting in the condition, which is that F is third. If F is third, that means R must be first (cause no one else is left to be first), and both G and T must be after F. That leaves only S for the second spot, since H has to be after S.

But remember fifth rule! G must be before T. So T can't be fourth.

So it's:
R S F H G T
R S F G H T
or
R S F G T H

What could be true? H could be fourth, which is answer choice B.

(Normally you could simply write H, G - T and cloud it after F, but I wrote out the options here cause clouding is tough in this format.)

Hope this helps!
