I think 1 is correct as given no chalk is toffee and we see buildings are chalks so no building is toffee.
And for conclusion 2 it's wrong as all buildings are chalk but all chalk can't be buildings.
And for conclusion 2 it's wrong as all buildings are chalk but all chalk can't be buildings.

I think option D is correct. Only all buildings are chalks, not all the chalks are building, So conclusion 2 is false. For conclusion 1 no building is toffee is wrong because there are also chalks and buildings inside the chalks in the ven diagram, so no chalk is toffee is right but no building is toffee is wrong.
So, the answer is option D clearly.
So, the answer is option D clearly.
