According to me, Some doctors may be rich but all rich are not doctors. Therefore the conclusion is not definite.

Some doctor is fools and some fools are rich.
But it's not mentioned which part of fools are rich so it can be concluded that some doctors who are fools also can be part of fools that are rich.
So, I think the answer can be the option (A).
