Apply data-processing inequality for quantum relative entropy to ρABC​ and ρA​⊗ρBC​, tracing out C. The resulting comparison is D(ρABC​∥ρA​⊗ρBC​)≥D(ρAB​∥ρA​⊗ρB​). Expand the logarithms of the product marginals to obtain S(AB)+S(BC)−S(B)−S(ABC)≥0, exactly Strong subadditivity of Von Neumann entropy.
