Well there is a lot of discussion over this question so I want to put my opinion.
First of all No+All = Some.
Now Let's c d conclusions:
Conclusion I is correct in general i.e No door is cat.
Conclusion II is also correct as it is converse of Conclusion I.
Conclusion III is obvious because No+All = Some.
And lastly conclusion IV which is just the converse of Conclusion III. So I think there is no proper option to the question.
First of all No+All = Some.
