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.
According to me, the first diagram is correct and the second diagram is wrong. Because there is no statement that says cows and elephants are connected.

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.
Then cow(A) will be subset of elephant(C) (if we do the venn diagram) .
Hence, only (1) conclusion follows.
