Option A is correct. We just need one venn diagram which satisfies the given option. So according to 2nd venn option A is correct.

But we can't ignore the fact that we don't have to suppose the things out of the statement.

I also think option A is correct. Many of qus in syllogism is based on possibilities. So, we can't ignoer 2nd option.
