Detailed Solution & Explanation

Let us analyze the circular seating arrangement based on the given clues:
1. By placing the persons J, P, I, K, O, L, M, N around the table, we get a unique circular sequence.
2. Evaluating each option against this sequence:
- Option A, B, C are logically correct statements.
- **Option D (M is sitting between N and L)** is an incorrect statement based on the derived arrangement.
Hence, **Option D** is the correct answer.

Exam Strategy Tip

Always use abbreviations (A, B, C) and draw the diagram immediately. The key trick is to never start with a 'relative' clue; always start with a fixed, concrete clue (e.g., 'A sits at the extreme right').
