The correct answer is

G

Five friends P, B, C, G and H face the centre of a circular table, so each person's left and right are judged as they face inward.

Fix C first. H sits to the immediate right of C, so moving clockwise (to the right of a centre-facing person) the pair is C then H.

B is third to the left of H. Counting three seats to the left of H (anticlockwise) around the 5-seat circle lands B at a fixed position.

Place the five seats and mark C and H adjacent; from H, going left three places gives B's seat.

The remaining two friends are P and G, who must fill the two empty seats, one of which is immediately to the left of C.

P is not an immediate neighbour of C, so P cannot occupy the seat next to C; therefore that seat must be taken by G.

Thus the friend sitting to the immediate left of C is G.

Hence, the person to the immediate left of C is G.
