Explanation:

(a) CEA is the correct answer choice, as it forms a valid syllogism.

Figures

S = Sweets
TT = Tasty things
A = Apples
Sweets are a subset of tasty things. Apples are not tasty things. As apples are not a part of the main set of tasty things, they can also not be a part of the subset of sweets.
(b) BDC is invalid, because the set of some A that are S and the set of some A that are not TT may have no relationship with each other (disjoint sets).
(c) CBD is invalid, because some A that are S are definitely TT, but we have no knowledge of the remaining A, and hence can reach no conclusion about them.
(d) EAC is invalid, because if all A are neither S nor TT, we cannot establish a definite relationship between S and TT.
