Fine, then the answer is A! Column A only asks for the percentage of Muay Thai fighters and given that 60% of all fighters are Brazilian Jujitsu fighters, 100%-60% = 40% > 37%. All the other information are superfluous since the question is about Muay Thay fighters in general, no matter if they can also do Brazilian Jujitsu or not.

Drawing a Venn diagram would be very tricky with this question.
I suggest you try using the Double Matrix method.
If you do, you can set up your information as follows:
From here we should recognize that, if 60 (of 100) fighters are skilled in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, then the remaining 40 fighters are NOT skilled in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, which means x = 40.
At that point, we can solve the question.
