I think D is correct because there would be only few crows that are elephants and not some. Correct me if I'm wrong.

The answer is D because in syllogism the second figure is used as a possibility. So to find the condition true or false we would see the first figure rather than the second one. And if possibility is asked then the answer would have been first which is 1 one follows.
Therefore some cows and elephant is a possibility not true.
I hope this answer helps you.

Option D is correct, because we have to consider all possibilities. And if a possibility doesn't satisfy, then it can't be true. Here, diagram 2 satisfies but diagram 1 doesn't. So, some cows are not elephants.
