To find the person(s) who are neither industrious nor ambitious, we need to identify the individuals who do not possess both of these qualities.

Given the information provided:

- K, L, and M are ambitious.

- M, N, and R are honest.

- L, M, and N are intelligent.

- K, N, and R are industrious.

From this information, we can determine the following:

- K is ambitious and industrious.

- L is ambitious and intelligent.

- M is ambitious, honest, and intelligent.

- N is honest, intelligent, and industrious.

- R is honest and industrious.

From the given options:

- Option "K alone" is not correct because K is both industrious and ambitious.

- Option "L and R" is not correct because L is ambitious and R is industrious.

- Option "M and N" is not correct because M is ambitious and N is industrious.

- Option "None in the group" is the correct answer because there are no individuals in the given group who are neither industrious nor ambitious.

Therefore, the correct answer is "None in the group".
