A justification for saying that D - and not A - is the correct answer is that A is simply a rewording of the original statement. D, on the other hand, is an actual substantively different statement that follows from the original statement.

Why not the option A? Since A is directly conclude from question.

You should go with option A. It is much close to the logical deduction. If you choose option D it is then theory of induction, which takes longer time. Option A is direct derivative so it takes less time.

A is correct because the statement says all beggars are poor. So if A is a beggar, then he has to be poor. Then he is not rich.
Similarly, D is correct because it means rich people cannot be beggars. As the original statement is that all beggars are poor, it follows that all poor may not be beggars, but no rich person can be a beggar. Therefore, D is correct.
Therefore answers A as well as D are correct.
