Draw all possible diagrams which satisfy the statement, then check each diagram.

If and only if all the diagram satisfies the statement given in 1 or 2 than the respective statement will be true. If any diagram fails to satisfy the relation than the respective statement will be false.

In above question diagram, 2 is satisfying whereas diagram 1 is not satisfying, hence the given answer is D.
