Conclusion 1 does not follow as some reptiles are snakes and no snake is a flying animal.
Conclusion 2 "can be" a possibility.
Conclusion 3 is also a possibility.
Conclusion 4 "can be" a possibility but Conclusion 2 and Conclusion 4 are mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive which means that exactly one of them has to be the case.
Thus, the correct answer is Option D.
