If Tanveer\'s interview is scheduled as the next after Pervaiz\'s, then Naveed\'s interview must come after Pervaiz\'s as well. This means that the possible order of interviews is: Ghalib, Fahid, Naveed, Pervaiz, Tanveer, Mohsin, Junaid.

If Pervaiz\'s interview is scheduled as the next after Naveed\'s, then the possible order of interviews is: Ghalib, Fahid, Naveed, Pervaiz, Tanveer, Mohsin, Junaid.

In both cases, Ghalib\'s interview starts at 9 a.m. and is followed by three more interviews, so Junaid\'s interview must start 2 hours later at 11 a.m. Answer: (D) 2 hours.
