Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - 3
Arrangement (facing centre, left = one direction): fix V; R is 3rd left of V; P sits next to V with U beyond P; S is 3rd left of W (W is 3rd right of S); Q is between W and T. Testing both sides for P, only one case fits, giving clockwise-left order V, P, U, R, W, Q, T, S (each next one is to the left of the previous). Between R and S lie W, Q, T on one side and V, P, U on the other: 3 persons either way.
