We know that all the actors are girls. We know that all the girls are beautiful. That means all the actors are beautiful.

We cannot say that some girls are actors. It literally says: "All the actors are girls".

While yes, in real life some girls are actors. In the context of this statement, we cannot assume the real world. We go by what is being told to us.

The correct answer should be A.
