The given form is "No P are M," which translates to "No P is included in the class of M." This means that some P may be outside of M, but none are inside. This form fits the EIO mood, which has one negative premise and one particular premise, and the 2nd figure, where the middle term is the subject of the premises. Therefore, the correct answer is C) EIO-2.
