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.

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.

There should be a full proof method or one rule. Thinking this and this always confusion. Only conclusion 1 and 4 is as per confirm rule.

Look on 2nd or 3rd they both together are not possible so either 2 or 3 is correct because they are complementary sentences.

In definite diag 1,4 & 3 follows whereas in possible diagram 1,4 & 2 follows.

Hence option D is correct.
