q ∧ ∼r

∧ symbol indicates conjunction and it is read as "and".

∼ symbol is read as negation.

∼r means "not r"

Hence, q ∧ ∼r means q and not r.

q and not r is the elements that are in q but not in r.

Hence, the venn diagram given by option C indicates q ∧ ∼r .

(p∨r)∧q

∨ symbol indicates disjunction and it is read as "or".

Hence, p∨r is read as p or r.

p or r means the elements that are either in p or r.

(p∨r)∧q means (p∨r) and q. It indicates the set of elements that are common to (p∨r) and q.

The venn diagram given by option A indicates (p∨r)∧q.

(q∧r)∨(∼p∧r).

q∧r means q and r. It indicates elements that are common to both q and r

∼p∧r means not p and r. It indicates elements in r but not in p.

(q∧r)∨(∼p∧r) means (q∧r) or (∼p∧r). It indicate elements that are either in q∧r or ∼p∧r.

Hence, the venn diagram given by option B indicates (q∧r) ∨ (∼p∧r).
