I agree with D because for conclusion 2 it is already wrong with the basic Venn diagram provided. And for conclusion 1 it is a 'NO'conclusion that is we can draw another possible Venn diagram against No Toffee is Building. Thus it is D.

I think option D is correct because conclusion may be correct may not be correct but we can't say it's definitely true. So we can't say any conclusion is true. Think in this way and help me out.
