According to the question, minimum possible diagram:

From statement I: Some Pens are Tables. All Papers are Mobiles. Some Mobiles are Pens.

I. Some mobiles are not pens → False (As some part of mobiles is common with pens, therefore it is false)

II. Some mobiles being tables is a possibility → True (As no statement restricts some mobiles from being tables, therefore it is true)

∴ Statement I will not be the result of the given conclusions.

From statement II: Only a few Mobiles are Pens. All pens are Tables. All Papers are Mobiles

I. Some mobiles are not pens. → True (As only some part of mobiles can be pens which means some part cannot be pens, therefore it is true)

II. Some mobiles being tables is a possibility. → True (As no statement restricts some mobiles from being tables, therefore it is true)

∴ Statement II will be the result of the given conclusions.

From statement III: Only a few Mobiles are Pens. Some Pens are Tables. Some Papers are Mobiles.

I. Some mobiles are not pens. → True (As only some part of mobiles can be pens which means some part cannot be pens, therefore it is true)

II. Some mobiles being tables is a possibility. → True (As no statement restricts some mobiles from being tables, therefore it is true)

∴ Statement III will be the result of the given conclusions.

From statement IV: Only a few Pens are Tables. All Papers are Mobiles. All Mobiles are Pens.

I. Some mobiles are not pens. → False (As whole mobiles comes in pens, therefore it is false)

II. Some mobiles being tables is a possibility. → True (As no statement restricts some mobiles from being tables, therefore it is true)

∴ Statement IV will not be the result of the given conclusions.

From statement V: Only a few Pens are Tables. All Papers are Mobiles. No Mobiles are Pens.

I. Some mobiles are not pens. → False (As restatement is never considered as true conclusion)

II. Some mobiles being tables is a possibility. → True (As no statement restricts some mobiles from being tables, therefore it is true)

∴ Statement V will not be the result of the given conclusions.

Thus, Both statement II and III follows.

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.
