CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Every mother is a woman, but not every woman is a mother: the Mothers circle lies inside the Women circle.
No man is a woman (and so no man is a mother): the Men circle is separate from both.
The picture needed is a small circle inside a larger one, with a third circle apart from both.

Worth noting

Two separate circles inside a larger circle would put Men inside Women, which is false.
