The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

To determine the number on the face opposite the face showing 2, we need to analyze the positions of the dice shown in the images.

Let's examine each face of the dice: 

  1. In the first position, we see the numbers 6, 2, and 4.
  2. In the second position, we see the numbers 2, 3, and 4.
  3. In the third position, we see the numbers 3, 5, and 4.
  4. In the fourth position, we see the numbers 1, 3, and 2.

We can apply the following logic to deduce the opposite faces:

  1. From the second and fourth positions, the common number is 3, showing it connects 2, 4, and 1 on different sides.
  2. From the first position, 6 is adjacent to 2 and 4. Thus, 6 cannot be opposite to 2.

Since 3, 4, and 1 are adjacent to 2 in different configurations, the remaining number that hasn't appeared directly with 2 is 5.

This indicates that 5 is opposite the face showing 2.

Therefore, the correct answer is 5.
