a$)$ Based on the given flows between processes, one should ensure that the processes B and are in adjacent rooms as they have the highest number of moves between each other.

Based on the given flows between processes, one should ensure that processes A and $$ are in adjacent rooms as they have the second highest number of moves between each other.

Based on the given flows between processes, one should ensure that processes D and $$ are in adjacent rooms as they have the third highest number of moves between each other. determined. Using the "highest flow adjacent to each other" rule, work station $5$ should have:
