The author rejects Santayana’s recommendation that we should study history to avoid the mistakes of the past. Studying history doesn’t allow us to avoid the mistakes of the past, so it doesn’t make sense to study history for the purpose of avoiding those mistakes.

The conclusion is the author’s rejection of Santayana’s recommendation: “we should not follow his advice.”

This twists the conclusion. The author never suggested that we shouldn’t study history at all. Rather, he argued that we shouldn’t study it for the purpose of learning from mistakes. It might be OK to study it for another reason.

This doesn’t capture the author’s rejection of Santayana’s recommendation. It’s also unclear whether the author ever discussed historical “periods” as opposed to historical events.

This relates to the premise and doesn’t capture the conclusion. Also, the author never suggested that the crises of one generation may look similar to those of another generation.

This is never stated or implied, so it can’t be the conclusion. The author never suggested studying history is valuable.

This is a paraphrase of the claim that we should not follow Santayana’s advice.
