- AFigure: two separate small circles enclosed within one large circle
- BFigure: two overlapping small circles enclosed within one large circle
- CFigure: two overlapping circles
- DFigure: three concentric circles
Explanation
Jupiter and Mars are two distinct planets, so their sets do not overlap. Both are members of the larger set of planets. The correct Venn diagram is therefore two separate small circles (Jupiter, Mars) enclosed within one large circle (Planets). Overlapping circles would wrongly imply a common member, and concentric circles would wrongly imply one is a subset of the other.
