The Venn diagram for the given statements is:

Conclusions:

F1 Sourav SSC 21 4 25 D134

Conclusion I: No apple is a key.: False (There is no direct relation between apple and key so we cannot definitively say that no apple is a key.)

Conclusion II: Some apples are walnuts.: False (There is no direct relation between apple and walnuts so we cannot definitively say that Some apples are walnuts.)

So, neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4"
