The answer is E because this is given in question that all actors (who play role in any drama) are girls but all girls (in world) are not actors, only some girls are actors, and this is also given in question that all girls are beautiful (in world) , and all actors are girls so E is right answer.

Both the sentence is universal affirmation hence conclusion must be universal affirmation type and middle term should not be in conclusion that's why first conclusion is true.
While in the second conclusion All the actors are girls but it is clearly not saying that all the girls are actors. It may be some actors and some not that's why conclusion second also follow.
