The answer is 1 and 4 and either 2 or 3 because 2 and 3 are a complimentary pair. In syllogisms, complimentary pairs too are a part of the answer key.

In definite diag 1,4 & 3 follows whereas in possible diagram 1,4 & 2 follows.
Hence option D is correct.

According to me 1, 3 & 4 is the actual answer but there is.
No option for 1, 3 & 4 so we have left only 1 & 4 option so it is right.
No option for 1, 3 & 4 so we have left only 1 & 4 option so it is right.

How I conclusion is right? Please explain.

There is either 2 or 3 given because a complementary pair is a type in which both conclusions are not true at a time and are not false at the same time.
So, from both conclusions, one has to be true while the other has to be wrong. When the answer given like either 1 follows or 2 follows, it is a case of complimentary syllogism.

Either is placed because of subject and predicate. If the subject and predicate for two options are given the same then the answer will be either.

Some keys are staplers. It means either 1 or 100 (all).
Keys may be stapler. Some staplers are stickers. Again it means either 1 or 100 (all) staplers are stickers. So we can say that all keys may be stickers. All the stickers are pens. So from above conclusion.
Either 1 or 100 (all) pen may be staplers. And either 0 or 100 (all).
Stickers may be key. So with statement 1 & 2, 3 statement is also right.
It can be explained easily with the help of venn diagram.
