@All.
Hi, in the question we can see, the word "only" which means no one except that, ex:- if someone says that "only" boys play football means, that in the team suppose 11 player all are boys now coming to the question with respect to the above we say that "only" means a set in a sector here set are boys and sector mean all boys, now suppose we say that "only" greenhouse students play football means all the people in house with respect to girls and boys here we can say the validation of "all" is not needed as it describes. So, I believe the appropriate answer is D.
