Which option represents the Venn diagram of Dogs, Pets and Cats?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) →
In a Venn diagram, two circles overlap when some members belong to both groups and stay apart when no member can belong to both.
Dogs and Pets: some dogs are pets and some are not (stray dogs), and pets include other animals too, so the two circles overlap.
Cats and Pets: in the same way, some cats are pets, so these circles overlap as well.
Dogs and Cats: no animal is both a dog and a cat, so these circles do not meet.
Only Option (1) has Pets overlapping both Dogs and Cats, with Dogs and Cats apart.
