According to second Venn diagram, some cows are elephants. So, how is it possible that answer is 'D'.

Option D is correct because we have to decide all possible Venn diagrams and out of above two, none follow the two condition simultaneously. As the matter of A, it is outlawed by the second Venn diagram, a possible Venn and can't be ignored.

Answer A is correct because first, we draw basic diagram then according to the conclusion we create possible diagrams if any one of the possible diagram is true then we left basic diagram and consider the possible digram. Here in question, the first diagram is basic diagram and second is the possible diagram (which is a draw based on conclusion).
