The correct answer is (a) obviously (b) could never be right. According to the first statement "all green are blue, " green could never be any other colour besides blue. So, when the 3rd conclusion says that some green isn't white. It basically says that some other green are, or could be white. That is impossible, because "all green are blue.
I hope this was helpful for you.
