    Answer : Option A

    Explanation :

    There are fewer oranges than either apples or lemons, so the statement is true.

    Easy method: (Try this method to solve without any confusion)

    1. A fruit basket contains more apples than lemons = App > Lem
    2. There are more lemons in the basket than there are oranges = Lem > Org

    Now, Combine the above two results: App > Lem > Org

    3. The basket contains more apples than oranges (App > ... > Org) = Yes.

    Therefore, the given 3rd statement is true.
