The provided truth table consists of three variables \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \), and the output \( X \). Let's analyze the table step by step to obtain the Boolean expression and simplify it:

### Truth Table:

| A | B | C | X |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
| 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |

### Steps to solve:

1. **Write the minterms:**
   The minterms are the rows where the output \( X = 1 \):
   \[
   (A'B'C) + (A'BC) + (AB'C') + (ABC') + (ABC)
   \]
   Here, the apostrophe (') represents the negation of a variable.

2. **Simplify the Boolean Expression:**
   Let's group and simplify these minterms:
   - \( (A'B'C) + (A'BC) \) can be simplified to \( A'C \).
   - \( (AB'C') + (ABC') \) can be simplified to \( AC' \).
   - The term \( ABC \) remains unchanged.

   So, the simplified Boolean expression is:
   \[
   A'C + AC' + ABC
   \]

3. **Further Simplification:**
   This expression cannot be simplified further without losing any essential terms.

### Logic Diagram:
- The first term \( A'C \) can be represented as a NOT gate for \( A \), ANDed with \( C \).
- The second term \( AC' \) is \( A \) ANDed with \( C' \) (NOT gate for \( C \)).
- The third term \( ABC \) is a simple AND gate for \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \).

Finally, these terms are ORed together to produce the output \( X \).
