Bi-c, ii-a, iii-d, iv-b ✓ Correct
Ci-a, ii-b, iii-c, iv-d
Di-d, ii-c, iii-b, iv-a
Correct answer: (B) i-c, ii-a, iii-d, iv-b
Explanation
The A proposition distributes only the subject, E distributes both terms, I distributes neither, and O distributes only the predicate.
In all S are P the subject is taken wholly but the predicate only partly, so only the subject is distributed.
In no S are P both classes are wholly excluded from each other, so both terms are distributed.
In some S are P neither class is taken as a whole, so neither term is distributed.
In some S are not P the predicate is wholly shut out from the named part, so only the predicate is distributed.
