If we say that cow(A) is subset of crow(B) and, crow(B) is subset of elephant(C).
Then cow(A) will be subset of elephant(C) (if we do the venn diagram) .
Hence, only (1) conclusion follows.

Option A is not the correct answer because the relationship between the cows and elephants is not established through the statements and cannot be determined through an intermediary called "crows".
The second Venn diagram is possible but not so, however, the first Venn diagram is always true.
So, we have to assume that the first Venn diagram is the correct representation unless more details are provided, I hope this helps.

@All.
In the explanation section, the 2nd diagram itself tells that, if some cows are crows and some elephants are crows.
Then it's clear that there is a relation possible that some cows can be elephants.
So, A should be the correct answer.

@Ramya.
The second diagram is a valid possibility because it nowhere says that cows and elephants are NOT related.
