Answer 1

The correct option is D Green

$Statements\left(1\right)and\left(3\right)$ state the colors of Alia and Bailey's gowns.

Let us represent this information in a table.


$Fromstatement\left(2\right)$, we know that Diana does not wear a red or a green-colored gown.


Thus, by looking at the table above, we can say that Diana wears a yellow gown.

$Fromstatement\left(4\right)$, we can say that Carla does not wear a yellow or a green gown.

Similarly, by looking at the table above, we can say that Carla wears a red-colored gown.
The only color left is green. Thus, Elsa wears a green-colored gown.
