  • AA resident who rents his flat and has paid the parking charge keeps his van in the basement
  • BA resident who owns his flat and has paid the parking charge keeps his car in the basement
  • CA resident who owns his flat and has not paid the parking charge keeps no vehicle in the basement
  • DA resident who rents his flat and has not paid the parking charge keeps no vehicle in the basement

Step-by-Step Solution

The notice lays down two conditions and requires both: ownership and payment. A tenant who has paid meets one and fails the other, yet parks — so the notice is being broken. The owner who has paid satisfies both and may park. The remaining two residents keep no vehicle in the basement at all, and the notice never obliges anyone to park; it only says who may.
Answer: A) A resident who rents his flat and has paid the parking charge keeps his van in the basement
