income

Consumer income reports produced by the government distinguish between households and families by means of the following definition: “A family is a household containing a householder and at least one person related to the householder.” Except for the homeless and people in group living quarters, most people live in households.
According to the definition above, which of the following must be true?
(A) All householders are members of families.
(B) All families include a householder.
(C) All of the people related to a householder form a family.
(D) Some people residing in group living quarters are members of families.
(E) Some homeless people reside in group living quarters.

answer choice C would be wrong bcoz we don't know here whether the householder has a household or not as a family needs a household with householder and atleast one person related to the householder. and this option talks about the relationship of a person with a householder but not about whether the householder has a house or not.Please lemme know if this is right??
Experts, please explain if ALL in this option includes some possibilities that it should not while referring to the argument above.

Only B is correct.
