The statement tells us nothing about the rich being beggars or not. So, D isn't correct.
A is correct cause it follows directly from the statement.
As long as anyone is a beggar, they are not rich.

Negation(~).
~(a->b)= ~b->~a.
All beggars are poor can be rewritten as 'if A is a Beggar, A is poor'.
On applying negation, we get;
If A is not poor, A is not a Beggar. which can be written as If A is rich, A is not a beggar.
~(a->b)= ~b->~a.
All beggars are poor can be rewritten as 'if A is a Beggar, A is poor'.
On applying negation, we get;
If A is not poor, A is not a Beggar. which can be written as If A is rich, A is not a beggar.

@All.
Please listen; In the option A, most people think not rich = poor, that is the main mistake.
Don't think of the meaning, just take them as categories. Two categories are Poor and Not Rich. And A is beggar, then he belongs in the category of poor.
Statement A classifies A as "Not Rich", which is not the same as "Poor".
Hence, D is the Correct option.
