Here, when you combine two statements you have to check if the statement is + or -. Statement 1 is + and Statement 2 is -.

When you combine a + statement with a - statement, the conclusion should be -.

So even if income expense is satisfied since conclusion 1 itself is +, we can't consider it as an actual conclusion.

Hence, Option B is the right answer.
