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.

Is there any relation (see the diagram) between toffee and buildings? No, not at all. So, conclusion: 1 is true. Now, given that, all buildings are chalks, not all chalks are buildings. So, conlusion: 2 is wrong. Therefore, Option A is right.
