I think A is correct because conclusion should fit in all aspects.

Talking about diagrams, well these are for possibilities with taking into consideration the statement thereof. So, in order to get the correct answer, it gotta be satisfying all the possibilities, otherwise, it is half the truth and half the wrong as well.

So, in my opinion, It got to be an option 'A'.
