If all cars are vehicles, and a bicycle is also a vehicle, then which statement is true?

Correct! Wrong!

The statement "All cars are vehicles" means every car is a type of vehicle.

Therefore, we cannot conclude that all cars are bicycles (a), some bicycles are cars (b), or some cars are bicycles (c). Hence, the correct answer is (d) None of the above.
