Correct Answer: Karan Johar is intelligent
Explanation
Introduction / Context:From “Karan Johar is a good director,” we know he is a director. With “Directors are intelligent,” we can infer that Karan Johar is intelligent. We must avoid reversing the implication.
Given Data / Assumptions:

- All Directors → Intelligent.
Concept / Approach:Universal instantiation: if all members of a set have a property, any specific member has it.
Option Check:
A asserts “All intelligent are directors” (converse); not supported.B follows directly.C includes A, so fails.D is incorrect because B follows.Final Answer:Karan Johar is intelligent
