No bus is a car.

Some cars are bikes.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

II. Some bikes are trains - False (Because, No definite relation given between Bikes are Trains, so it can be possible only).

So, Only conclusion I follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".
