Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
A straightforward chain. Choosing G mandates rejecting H (Rule 1). That in turn mandates rejecting J and M (Rule 2s contrapositive). And once J is gone, S must be chosen (Rule 4), which is A. W, the remaining entity, can be chosen but need not be, so neither B. nor C. must be true. And since the total number of birds here is 2 or 3, D. and E. are possible only.
