Hint 2 of 2
Each answer is a short piece; check whether its links sit in the same order as somewhere in the big chain.
Show solution
Approach: match the link pattern of a short piece to part of the big chain
  1. The big chain has its links in a fixed repeating order.
  2. Read each answer piece and see if its links come in that same order.
  3. Only one short piece copies a stretch of the big chain exactly.
  4. That matching piece is option C, so the answer is C.
