Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

We know that A and D prefer coffee to tea, and these two are friends with the industrialist.
The industrialist is the only person who does not fit the tea preference.
B is the only person who could be the industrialist because B is the one who prefers coffee and has no association with tea drinkers. || Thus, B must be the industrialist.
