Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
From A, “Sham won a lottery”, and D, “One need not be intelligent to win a lottery”, we infer that winning a lottery does not require intelligence. Combined with C, “Sham is not intelligent”, the chain remains valid — Sham could still win despite lacking intelligence. This option logically fits without contradiction.
