By venn diagram option should be E.
If its definite answer then fine, he it says some doctors are rich. Which is possible as per venn diagram.
Venn diagram can be made in different ways, but when we say no there should be no exclusion to it. Even if once of the diagrams show an option, then we must go with it.
