I think "I" is right.
As some dog are bats, one can be a dog and can be a bat.
As some bats are cats, one can be a dog, then to a bat, then to a cat
tell me if I am wrong.
As some dog are bats, one can be a dog and can be a bat.

@All.
The explanation is also wrong.
Here, Diagram A implies that the only bats that are cats are those that are not dogs. Which is not specified in the problem. It said: Some dogs are bats. Some bats (which may be dogs according to Statement A) are cats.
The problem never said that the only time a bat is also a cat is if it is not a dog.
The explanation is also wrong.
