Instead of looking at it like a Venn Diagram, it helps to me to think of 3 parallel number lines from 0 - 100

App: 1----------------------70

Ban: 25----------------------------100

Che: 1------25 70------------100

At this point, there is no space where all three are liked at the same point. But since this diagram only captures (25 + 30) 55%/80% for cherries, there is a remaining 25% left over.

Choice C

I see it in this way.

1-----------------------------------100%

You need to set the percentages of the people who do not like each fruit on a line which is leght=100%.

1----30%
Apple
1-----25%
Banana
1-------20%
Cherry
/---------------100%
Left=100-(30+25+20) = 25%
Choice=C

I hope this is clear
