    M is second to the left of P.
    Only one person sits between P and S.
    Q sits to the immediate right of S.
    No other person is sitting in the row.
    According to the given information seating arrangement will be:
    M is third to the right of A-
    A _ _ M 
    M is second to the left of P-
    A _ _ M _ P
    Only one person sits between P and S-
    A _ _ M _ P _ S
    Q sits to the immediate right of S, so:
    A _ _ M _ P _ S Q.

    A, _, _, M, _, P, _, S, Q → Total = 9 people.
    Thus, the correct option is (d) 9
