Explanation:

    • Floor 6: None
    • Floor 5:(M) O
    • Floor 4:(O) M
    • Floor 3: N
    • Floor 2: None
    • Floor 1: L
    • Floor 6: (M) O
    • Floor 5:(O) M
    • Floor 4: None
    • Floor 3: N
    • Floor 2: None
    • Floor 1: L
    • Floor 6: (M) O
    • Floor 5:(O) M
    • Floor 4: N
    • Floor 3: None
    • Floor 2: L
    • Floor 1: None
    • Floor 6: None
    • Floor 5: N
    • Floor 4: None
    • Floor 3: N
    • Floor 2: (M) O
    • Floor 1: (O) M
    • Floor 6: N
    • Floor 5: None
    • Floor 4: L
    • Floor 3: (M) O
    • Floor 2: (O) M
    • Floor 1: None
    • Floor 6: N
    • Floor 5: None
    • Floor 4: L
    • Floor 3: None
    • Floor 2: (M) O
    • Floor 1: (O) M

Since M and O are always next to each other, Statement 1 is false. Since L is two floors below N, Statement 2 must be true. It can be seen from the configurations that statement 3 is false. Thus Choice C is correct.
