I really don't know. ended up with A>C and E>C. so I'm guessing C is one of the lightest. coupled with B. I guess.

the way the options were typed is quite confusing.
The answer should be C. but the way the options were typed, one would think each options has 2 answers.

Basically from simple analogy; C<grin<E>A>B in ascending order Thus C is the smallest

C is the lightest.

A = 2.000B = 9.000C = 4.500D = 2.250E
B = 0.500A = 4.500C = 2.250D = 1.125E
C = 0.111A = 0.222B = 0.500D = 0.250E
D = 0.222A = 0.444B = 2.000C = 0.500E
E = 0.444A = 0.889B = 4.000C = 2.000D

Apparently, C<E<A

From lightest to heaviest,

C<D<E<B<A


Therefore C is the lightest...


It really doesn't take a genius...
