Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 11

Let T be the set of people who drink tea and M the set of people who drink milk. The 17 tea drinkers include the 6 people who drink both beverages. Therefore, the number who drink only tea is n(T) − n(T ∩ M) = 17 − 6 = 11. The total group size and milk count are not needed for this calculation, so option B is correct.
