C

Step-by-step explanation:

independent events are those where outcome of one event is not effected by the outcome of the other event

F is intersection of O and E. E and O are independent events

F has a subset (high GPA and highly organized) that is dependent on E.

E and O have subsets that that is person having high GPA or is highly organized that are not dependent on F.

The above explanation nullifies option A and B and D.
