No @Nikhil and @Kunal.
There is no clear distinction showing NO RELATION between pen n Jeep (where in statements they said no jeep is a pen or no Cars is a jeep or no Boxes is Car ????)
However Only conclusion 1 (not option) : Some cars are boxes) follows.
Because Statement depicts All boxes being Jeeps and some Cars are Jeeps.
Therefore Some cars are boxes.
Hope this helps.
Correct me If I'm Wrong!

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.
