In 3/4 cases B is correct, just because it is in one case incorrect. It doesn't make D correct. It just makes the question flawed. But even if the question is badly built, my answer is B.

I think the 2nd conclusion is correct.

ALL fans are cats can we make it all cats are fans, I know that will change the whole scenario, since All is a universal case. Also at many places I have it being interchanged.
