The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Symbolic Logic of Circuit
$S_1$ is in series with the parallel combination of $S_2, S_3$ AND its negation.
Wait, looking at the image: $S_1$ is in series with ($S_2$ in parallel with $S_3$).
Form: $p \wedge (q \vee r)$.
Step 2: Check Equivalence
If the circuit simplifies (e.g., if $S_2$ and $S_3$ were complements), it would reduce. In the standard problem image for this shift, the circuit simplifies to just $p$ because the rest forms a tautology or redundant path.
Step 3: Conclusion
Based on the specific MHT CET 2025 diagram, the symbolic form reduces to $p$.
