Correct answer: C

A square has four right angles, so it is a rectangle; it has four equal sides, so it is a rhombus. Squares lies inside both.
Some rectangles are not rhombuses and some rhombuses are not rectangles: Rectangles and Rhombuses overlap.
Their common part is exactly the squares.
So two overlapping circles with a small circle inside their common part.

Worth noting

Three circles, each inside the next, would need every rectangle to be a rhombus (or the reverse). A long thin rectangle is not a rhombus.
