The correct answer choice is (B)

The question then proceeds to ask for the variable that could be replaced by K without creating a violation.
Answer choice (A) is incorrect because K cannot substitute for any member of the planting committee; if K is a member without the presence of J, the third rule would be violated.

Answer choice (C) is incorrect because from the last rule the two committees must have at least one member in common, and H is the only member in common.
Answer choice (D) is incorrect because K cannot substitute for any member of the planting committee; if K is a member without the presence of J, the third rule would be violated.
Answer choice (E) is incorrect because K cannot substitute for any member of the planting committee; if K is a member without the presence of J, the third rule would be violated. In addition, M must appear on at least one of the committees and so removing M would violate the fourth rule.
