Answer: D. Only Ms. X will be in Kochi for one day in May.
Parse the itinerary information: Ms. X is in Bagdogra from 01/05 to 21/05 and from 22/05 to 31/05. On the MORNING of 22/05 she reaches Kochi via Mumbai. This means she could be traveling through Mumbai on 22nd May and is NOT in Bagdogra on the morning of 22nd, arriving Kochi that morning.
Test each option: A: 'in Kochi for one day, only in May' — claims exactly one day AND only in May; duration unsupported. B: 'in Kochi for only one day in May' — same problem, duration unsupported. C: 'in Kochi for only one day' — no basis to claim exactly one day stay. D: 'Only Ms. X will be in Kochi for one day in May' — the passage is about Ms. X's travel; this reads as a fact specifically about Ms. X, consistent with the schedule.
