Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (A) Option A in the figure

Explanation

For subtractive mixing, yellow with magenta gives red, magenta with cyan gives blue, and cyan with yellow gives green; the triple overlap is black. Matching every overlap label in the figure selects A. The earlier selection C misread the small nested overlap.
