The answer with more logical reason is:

“Details: Nocturnal animals are animals that sleep during the day. Bats sleep during the day. Conclusion: Bats are nocturnal.” This is the correct answer since the details provided and the conclusion are consistent with each other. In this example, the details give a general statement about nocturnal animals and an example of nocturnal animals. Then in the conclusion, it unites the general statement with the example.

The rest of the examples do not follow logical reasoning. For example, in the statement number one it says that food with sugar and cheeseburgers are high in calories; and then the conclusion says that cheeseburgers are sugary foods which is wrong.
