A Correct answer
Explanation

Statement A says 'Ms. X will be in Kochi for one day, only in May' - this correctly infers she visits Kochi on 21/05/2014 (one day), and this is in May. The word 'only' modifies 'in May' (temporal restriction), not the person. Options B, C, D incorrectly place 'only' to create absurd meanings (only one day total vs only in Kochi vs only Ms. X).
