Final answer:

The members of the team other than C are ABDR.

Step-by-step explanation:

The members of the team other than C can be calculated by following the given conditions:

  1. A and D have to be together, so we can treat A and D as one entity.
  2. B can't be teamed with E.
  3. C and Q have to be together, so we can treat C and Q as one entity.
  4. S and T have to be together, so we can treat S and T as one entity.

Now, we can treat AB, CQ, ST as single entities. Therefore, the remaining possibilities are DEFA, BER, ADPQ, ABD, and R. Since the team consists of four boys including C, the remaining members of the team other than C are:

ABDR
