Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The mood of a syllogism is determined by the type of propositions (A, E, I, O) it contains. The first statement is an E proposition ("No...is..."), the second is an I proposition ("Some...are..."), and the third is also an I proposition ("Some...are not..."). Thus, the mood is EIO.
