The Correct answer is D because after drawing alternative diagram we can prove that the basic diagram is false so D is the correct answer.

Option E is correct. All buildings are chalks is a statement. No building is a toffee. It has been clearly explained in the Venn diagram.

I think only 1 follows because all buildings are chalks but it is not clear that all chalks are building, the building is inside chalk.

Option E is correct. If all A are B, then all B is A. Or simply apply symmetry property i.e. if A = B then B = A.
