The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

We are given the following statements: 
- All apples are fruits. 
- All fruits are tasty. 
Now, let's analyze the conclusions: 

Conclusion 1: All apples are tasty. 
From the two given statements, if all apples are fruits and all fruits are tasty, it logically follows that all apples are tasty. Therefore, conclusion 1 follows. 

Conclusion 2: Some tasty things are apples. 
This conclusion is not necessarily true. The statement "All fruits are tasty" does not imply that some tasty things are apples. It only suggests that apples are included in the broader category of tasty fruits. Therefore, conclusion 2 does not follow. 

Thus, the correct answer is option (b).
