If in a race Chunnu finishes first, Ali can finish no lower than __

Given: Chunnu finishes 1st

So Chunnu is fixed at position 1.

Now we are asked: Alib can finish lower than __ ?

“Lower than” means a worse position (greater rank number).

Since no total number of participants is given, but standard MCQ assumption is usually at least 5 participants, and Chunnu already takes 1st.

So Alib can be 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc.

To make the statement universally true in race logic:

• Lower than 2nd means 3rd or worse → possible
• Lower than 3rd means 4th or worse → possible
• Lower than 4th means 5th or worse → possible
• Lower than 5th means 6th or worse → not guaranteed (depends on participants count)

So the maximum safe boundary is:

Alib can finish lower than 5th (because 5th or worse is always possible in typical race assumptions with 5+ participants).

Correct answer: D. fifth
