II. No bat is a glass → Follow → As all bats are cubes and no cube is a glass. So no bat is a glass is definitely followed because all bats are complete parts of Cubes.

III. All cubes are bats → Does not follow → As all bats are cubes. it is not definite in case of cube to bat as all bat can be cube without all cube being bat. Hence all cubes being bats is a possibility not definite.)

IV. No stone is a glass → Does not follow → As there is no definite relation given between Stone and Glass, we can not derive any conclusion. So no stone is a glass is not followed. 

So, Only Conclusion I and II follow.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
