Solution

The correct option is B

if either Conclusion I or IV follows


Clearly, each combination of premises shall contain two particular premises and as such no definite conclusion follows.
However, I and IV are contradictory statements involving only the extreme terms and none of the middle term 'rods' or 'doors'. Thus, they form a complementary pair.
So, either I or IV follows.
