The statement "The only victim who survived is Oliver" directly translates to "For all x, if x is a victim and x survived, then x must be Oliver," which is precisely what option A states: "Vo • So • (x)[(Vx • Sx) ⊃ x = o]." This means Oliver is a victim and survived, and if anyone is a victim and survived, that person must be Oliver.
