The question given below contains three elements. These elements may or may not have some inter linkage. Each group of elements may fit into one of these diagrams at (A), (B), (C), (D) and/or (E). You have to indicate the group of elements which correctly fits into the diagrams. Which of the following diagrams indicates the best relation between Elephant, Carnivorous and Tiger ?

In these classification (Venn-diagram) questions, the diagram must be built strictly from the real-world membership between the three categories: if every member of one category is also a member of a second (a strict subset relation), its circle is drawn nested completely inside the wider category's circle; if a category shares no members at all with either of the other two, its circle is drawn fully separate, touching neither; and only when two categories share some but not all members do their circles partially overlap.
Tiger is a Carnivorous animal, so every tiger is also carnivorous - a full containment (subset) relation, so Tiger's circle must sit completely inside Carnivorous's circle. Elephant shares no members with Carnivorous (an elephant is never carnivorous) and none with Tiger (an elephant is never a tiger) - so Elephant's circle must be drawn fully apart from both. Only one diagram draws a small circle nested completely inside a larger circle while keeping a third circle fully separate from both - that is the diagram that captures both facts at once.
A diagram where all three circles overlap each other in pairs would require every pair, including Tiger and Elephant, to share some members. But no animal is both a tiger and an elephant - Tiger and Elephant share no members at all - so their circles can never correctly be drawn overlapping.
A diagram that nests all three circles inside one another in a single chain would require Elephant's circle to sit inside (or enclose) Carnivorous's circle. But an elephant is never a carnivorous animal, so Elephant cannot be nested together with Carnivorous in any correct diagram.
A diagram with two separate circles both placed inside one larger enclosing circle would require two of the three categories to each be entirely contained within the third. Since an elephant is never a carnivorous animal, Elephant's circle cannot be one of two subsets enclosed within Carnivorous's circle.
So the diagram with one circle nested completely inside a larger circle, plus a third circle drawn fully apart from both, is the correct relation: Tiger is carnivorous, but Elephant stands apart from both.
Tiger is carnivorous but Elephant is different from these two.
