The statement "Some P are not M" means that there exists at least one P that does not belong to the set of M. In the Venn diagram, this is represented by putting an X on the line between areas 2 and 3 (where non-overlapping parts of P and M intersect) and between areas 6 and 7 (where the rest of P intersects with the complement of M). This is the only option that accurately represents this relationship.
