C. Anatomy         D. Cannot be determined

Answer and Explanation

Answer:Anatomy

Chemistry - - Botany - (or) - Chemistry - - Botany or (ii) Botany - - Chemistry - (or) - Botany - - Chemistry 


Maths books are not at any extreme. So, the arrangement may be as follows: Chemistry Mathematics - Botany Physics or Physics Chemistry - Mathematics Botany or Botany Mathematics - Chemistry Physics or Physics Botany -Mathematics Chemistry.
In any of these possible arrangements, only the Anatomy book can be in the exact middle.
