The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the Given Statements 

  • From statement I, "All A is B," we know that every element of A is also part of B.
  • From statement II, "Some C is A," it means there exists at least one element in C that is also part of A.

Step 2: Analyzing Conclusion I

Conclusion I states, "Some C is B," which follows because the element of C that is also part of A must also be a part of B, as all A is B.

Step 3: Analyzing Conclusion II

Conclusion II states, "All C is B," but we cannot conclude this because the statement only tells us that some part of C is A, not all of C. Hence, conclusion II does not follow.

Step 4: Final Answer

Thus, the correct answer is (d) Only conclusion I follows.
