@All.
It can be an answer only if the given condition is possible in all figures. If not it is not a conclusion and that's why option 2 is not an answer.

From 2nd premises we can write Some bats are keys. And in 3rd premises.
Some watches are bats. Then we conclude Some watches are keys.
So, Option A is correct. Because statement 1 and 2 is correct.
Some watches are bats. Then we conclude Some watches are keys.
So, Option A is correct. Because statement 1 and 2 is correct.

In my opinion, the answer is D - as 1 and 3 is correct. The argument for 1 to be correct is well stated above, however, 3 is also correct for the following reason:
If all locks are keys ( locks = keys), then all keys are locks as x=y then y=x. The diagram does not take this into consideration.
If all locks are keys ( locks = keys), then all keys are locks as x=y then y=x. The diagram does not take this into consideration.
