The correct choice is A because it accurately reflects the distinction that, although deviant beliefs are common among schizophrenics, holding deviant beliefs does not necessarily indicate schizophrenia. This implies that the phenomenon of deviant beliefs is broader and not exclusive to schizophrenia, acknowledging the complexity and diversity of both schizophrenia and the nature of beliefs considered deviant.
