(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=1864)
The correct answer choice is (B)
N is a random, with no restrictions, meaning that answer choice (B) is good place to start. Proving that N can be second is straightforward (T-N-L-M-W-V is one possible arrangement).
Alternately, this question can be easily answered by referring to the Not Laws created during the setup.
Answer choices (A) and (E) each refer to Not Laws that follow from the first rule. Thus, both can be eliminated.
Answer choice (C) refers to a Not Law created by the combination of the first and third rules. Therefore, this answer choice can be eliminated.
Answer choice (D) refers to a Not Law created by the combination of the first and fourth rules. Therefore, this answer choice can be eliminated.
Accordingly, answer choice (B) is the correct answer.
