The correct answer is

E

Five persons sit around a circular table facing the centre, so for each person the right side moves in the clockwise direction.

Fix D at a seat. B is second to the right of D, so B is two seats clockwise from D.

A is second to the right of B, so A is two seats clockwise from B, which is four seats clockwise from D.

The two remaining seats, one and three seats clockwise from D, must be filled by C and E.

The immediate neighbours of A are the seat three clockwise from D and the seat of D itself. Since C is not a neighbour of A, C cannot take the seat three clockwise from D.

So C sits one seat clockwise from D and E sits three seats clockwise from D.

The clockwise order starting from D is therefore D, C, B, E, A.

Third to the right of D is three seats clockwise from D, which is E. Hence the answer is E.
