Conclusion (II):
No park is a classroom – Because there is a negative relation between school and park and the classroom is completely inside the school. Therefore, no park is a classroom is also true.
Conclusion (III):
No school is a house – Because there is a negative relation between school and the park and the house is completely inside the park. Therefore, no school is a house is also true.
So, all of the conclusions follow. Hence, the first option is correct.
