A is CORRECT.

Hi Graeme! Hope you are doing well! Just covered your explanation of this question and I just have a little doubt related to option A being correct. Why is it that we can not have 3 FN, 1 FP and 1 RP? In this scenario we have 3 novels, 4 French works, and 5 works in total which all follow our set of rules.
