(a)diagram (a)
(b)diagram (b)

Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) diagram (a)
The statement means the set of male guitarists (C) lies almost entirely inside the set of bearded males (B), and both of these lie inside the universal set of all males (A). Diagram (a) alone shows C completely within B and A, so it is the only correct representation; the other diagrams place C partly or wholly outside B/A, contradicting the premise.
