Guys option 3 is correctt. Because. If you are checking for No conclusion. You have to check the basic and possibility diagram. The basic diagram is given diagram. In that case, there is no link between a cat and a cow.
So, it is true in the basic diagram. The possibility diagram which is, you have to think about whether any possibility of linking the cat and cow. Yes, you have.
If you have the possibility but in conclusion, they said not. So it is false. If you choose the "No" conclusion, it should satisfy both the basic and possibility diagram. Here only one can satisfy. So 1st option is not correct. Similar to 2nd option. Then only the last is correct.

Only conclusion number 3 follows. According to the last statement, No dog is a cow. It means that no cow is dog, but it doesn't say that no cow is cat. Check out the second possible diagram.
