According to me, Option E is correct. Because we can not draw a possible diagram for this question, except we can draw a basic diagram.
When we try to draw the possible diagram here we can not put or accommodate Wall with Window or Door because in a statement it is clearly given that "No Wall is a Door" i.e. we can not put wall with door and window.
So, we have to solve the question only based on the Basic Diagram. In a basic diagram, both options will come wrong. Therefore according to my result, Option E is correct.

@All.
How the answer could be option B?
According to the rules of syllogism, if there is a universal negative statement the conclusion should consist of negative argument and we can't use the middle term in the conclusion thus the correct answer should be option D.
