The first diagram of the syllogism between bats and cats are wrong in relation to dogs, just because it in order for dogs to be cats it has to go into bats first, it will then not negate the fact that it has the possibility of it being a cat. Conclusion one should follow and latter cannot because the process is not reversed.

Here, it's not mentioned any relationship between a dog and a cat. So, option "D" is right.

For me, the correct answer would be C, as per the conditions for either/or. So, Both conclusions fulfil this condition.

Either the second Venn diagram is wrong, or the answer is wrong. If you consider the first venn diagram, then the answer should be C.
Now if you consider the 2nd Venn diagram, then the answer is E.
Now if you consider the 2nd Venn diagram, then the answer is E.
