Here’s the diagram with M third. I also placed F, S and L:
F goes somewhere before M. S must come after H, and L comes fifth at the earliest.
This second diagram doesn’t work. We still have to place GP, and there isn’t a spot with two open spaces.
That leaves the first diagram, with FMH in the first three spaces. That scenario eliminates A-D.
E is CORRECT. This scenario proves it:
