We can't decide option 3 then how can you say either 2 or 3?

Its easy :
Option (1) & (4) follows no doubt about it, option (2) & (3) doesn't follow as per rules, so before quitting the question we must check whether there exist any COMPLEMENTARY PAIR (or) not.
SOME and NO forms a complementary pair with common words (STICKERS & KEYS), we can interchange the words because both SOME and NO are INTERCHANGEABLE. So we can write it as,
Some keys are stickers. No stickers are keys. [words (stickers) are same, so, either (2) or (3) follows].

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.

Guys, my point of view by the rule if I and E statement having same element as same place it can be taken as complementary pair and we select either or option. Complementary pairs are i, o; a, o and i, e.
