RULE: to solve problems of syllogism, one should draw every possible Venn diagrams and a conclusion is right if it satisfies ALL Venn diagrams.

I agree with @Sumit.
The second diagram should only be considered when possibilities are mentioned in the conclusion. D is the Correct Answer.

Isn't a true since we are allowed to refer to the second diagram, ans some cows are still elephants since they are both partof crows, isnt it?

We have to consider the common conclusions of all possibilities (all the Venn diagrams). In this case, we got none. So, option D is correct.

According to me A is the correct answer. Regarding Venn diagrams, we always consider "OR" condition, as it describes the possibilities.

From the second diagram option 1 is going to be correct.
Can anyone please give the correct explanation and correct me if I'm wrong.

We need to consider both Venn diagrams if anyone of the possibility is false then we cannot take the rest. The option needs to be A.

Option A is the correct answer.
(in syllogism we have to consider all the possible outcomes. So we cannot omit the second case.).
