B.
A: No, because it's possible some of the Puerta supporters support Quintana, if not all. We don't have any info on whether or not P supporters also support Ramirez or not. It's possible all segments support Ramirez.
B. Yes. Since there is at least 1 segment that does support both Q and R, then Mashika's condition doesn't hold true, which means not all P supporters support Q... but some can still. This further means that there is at least 1 segment of P supporters that does not support Q.
C, D, E All No. Can't reasonably infer these. Have no info. It may be possible but that's not enough.

Mashika: We already know from polling data that some segments of the electorate provide significant support to Ms. Puerta. If those segments also provide significant support to Mr. Quintana, then no segment of the electorate that provides significant support to Mr. Quintana provides significant support to Mr. Ramirez.
Salim: But actually, as the latest polling data conclusively shows, at least one segment of the electorate does provide significant support to both Mr. Quintana and Mr. Ramirez.
Among the following statements, which is it most reasonable to infer from the assertions by Mashika and Salim?
A. At least one segment of the electorate provides significant support neither to Mr. Quintana nor to Mr. Ramirez.
B. At least one segment of the electorate provides significant support to Ms. Puerta but not to Mr. Quintana.
C. Each segment of the electorate provides significant support to Ms. Puerta.
D. Each segment of the electorate provides significant support to Mr. Quintana.
E. Each segment of the electorate provides significant support to Mr. Ramirez.
