Given the information provided, we can determine the order of the heights as follows:

1. A is taller than E.

2. B is taller than C.

3. E is shorter than D.

From these statements, we can infer that the order of heights from tallest to shortest is A > E > B > C > D.

Therefore, the person who would be fourth when counting from the tallest would be B. Option 2 is the correct answer.

The information provided is sufficient to determine the position of each person based on their heights. There is no contradiction or missing information in the given statements. Therefore, option 4 (Cannot be determined as the data is insufficient) is incorrect.

There is no Alert - correct answer should be present because the provided answer (option 2) is correct based on the given information.
