Given:
\(a < b < c\)
\(d < e < f\)
Just there is no information that somehow combine two inequalities, the answer is D.
Consider these two conflicting cases:
case i: a = 1, b = 2, c = 3, d = 5, e = 6 and f = 7
We get:
Quantity A: a = 1
Quantity B: f = 7
In this case, Quantity B is greater
case ii: a = 11, b = 12, c = 13, d = 5, e = 6 and f = 7
We get:
Quantity A: a = 11
Quantity B: f = 7
In this case, Quantity A is greater
Answer: D

The answer would be D as there is no information given regarding the relationship between all the variables i.e. are the equal or unequal, more than 0 or not etc.
