Solution
OPTION E: All of the above are true. [answer]
*****************
If all hedgehogs can read, then some can read. [A correct]
Thus, it is not true that some hedgehogs cannot read, for they can all read. [B correct]
Thus, if someone cannot read, he cannot be a hedgehog. [C correct]
Of course, it is false that no hedgehogs cannot read. [D correct]
Hence, all of the above are correct.
