Technically speaking, answering to your question , what is not one would be one that is more than the whole number one. But for argumentation there is the visual help of your slide show. In the visual aide, each slide show is captioned by preceding sentence e.g ('This one is banana', 'This one is bird and so on')
Now, answering the question 'What is not one?'
we refer back to the slide show. In that, it shows that the subject of the sentence is 'This one'. Subject of the sentence is always the noun,adverbial clause or adjective clause that is being talked about or being described by the object of the predicate. But we can reverse the sentence correctly by exchanging the subject and the predicate's position. e.g. 'This banana is one'. But this is off tangent to the point, it will be a false reasoning because some of the examples show plurality. We cannot say 'This two birds is one'. Now we understood this therefore 'Which is not one?' would be answered as none of the of the above because they are all 'one'.
Mentally we visualize in our mind that the subject of the predicate 'this one' is referring to as 'this picture'. Logically we connote verbally the question
since 'one' refers to as 'picture'
the question' what is not one?'
would also mean the same as' what is not picture?'
therefore the answer is none of the above because they are all pictures.
Pointing out the linking verb 'is'- it is singular in form it is a link to a singular noun(picture) though we can be confused by the group of men(plural) or two birds(plural) or members of the family(plural)- this is just secondary case knowing they are only object of the predicate.
