Answer:

Fig A

Explanation:

in fig A, we can see that the subset that represents "trees", lies inside the subset that "has leaves". Hence in figure A, we can say that "All trees have leaves" or "if it is a tree, it has leaves"

in fig B however, we see that "has leaves" is inside of "trees", this means that the area in-between "has leaves" and "tree" represents the subset that there are trees without leaves. This is in contradiction to the statement "if it is a tree, it has leaves", hence this is not the answer.
