Explanations 

We labeled the corners from 1 to 8. The persons whom are at position of 1 to 4 are  facing outside and 5 to 8 are facing inside.

E bought 23 items so E is sitting in inner square then E is sitting at 1^st position. H is facing F who bought 13 items less than H. One person sits between G and H. G is not neighbor of E. Now it is confirmed that H and G are in outer square. So H can be sit at 6^th, 7^th and 8^th position.

Case 1: If H is at 6^th position :

Then F is at 2^nd position and G is at 8^th position. C bought 14 items. So C is in outer square. C is not facing E then C is at 7^th position.

The one who faces C is 2^nd to the right of B. So the one who is at 3^rd position is 2^nd to the right of B then B must be at 1^st position but E is there so this case gets rejected.

Case 2: If H is at 8^th position :

Then F is at 4^th position and G is at 6^th position. C bought 14 items. So C is in outer square. C is not facing E then C is at 7^th position.

The one who faces C is 2^nd to the right of B. So the one who is at 3^rd position is 2^nd to the right of B then B must be at 1^st position but E is there so this case gets rejected.

Case 3: If H is at 7^th position :

Then F is at 3^rd position and G is at 5^th position. C bought 14 items. So C is in outer square. So C can be at 6^th and 8^th position.

A bought 3 items less than C. Then A bought 11 items at must be in inner square. The sum of the number of items bought by A and B together is 28 then B bought (28-11)=17 items.

If C at 6^th position, then B is at 4^th position and D is at 8^th position.

D is immediate left of the one who bought 26 items. H didn’t buy 26 items but from this cannot be possible so that is not possible.

 If C at 8^th position, then B is at 2^nd position and D is at 6^th position and A is at 4^th position. D is immediate left of the one who bought 26 items so G bought 26 items. H bought 6 more items than G then H bought 32 items. F bought 13 items less than H then F bought 19 items. D bought 1 item less than F then D bought 18 items.

Here is the final arrangement:

1. Answer: A

H bought highest items.
