Solution:
Minimum % of people liking apples and bananas both are 70+75-100 = 45%.
So, minimum % of people liking apples, bananas, and cherries are 45+80-100 = 25%.
The correct answer is (C).

100 - 80 = 20% do not like cherries
100 - 75 = 25% do not like bananas
100 - 70 = 30% do not like applies

20 + 25 + 30 = 75% do not like one (or more) of the mentioned.

1 - 75% = 25% like all three. Answer is C

(however - the solution above by the expert is easier/faster, no doubt...)
