assuming the flow rate remains as depicted (a slow steady drip) the water will be spilling out of the top of Tank F before the first drop ever enters Tank K. The outlet of the pipe leading from J into I is higher than any point on the pipe from J to L thus no water could get from Tank J to Tank I until the water in Tank J rises at least as high as the top of the outlet into Tank I and that would not happen since the top of tank F is lower and the water will overflow that point – If the flow rate increased to the point that water is entering the system faster than the various drain pipes can carry then it’s going to be a lot more complicated to figure out 🙂
G. It is the most direct route unless the top left of D is blocked off, as it may be or just be an error in the graphic. If so, then F, as H looks blocked off as well.

I vote G, barely.

Oops, looking at it on a larger screen, it does look like F.

no water will enter tank G at all because the pipe is blocked before any water could enter Tank D above it.
