I think statement 1 is correct.

Yes, the right answer A. But if it is given possibility then 2 and 3 are possible.

Option A is correct. Because if we consider diagram 1 we can deduce that neither conclusion 1 nor conclusion 2 follows.

And when we consider diagram 2, it shows that some pens are jeeps. So, we can't go with conclusion 2.

None of the conclusions follows.
