The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation


Let's analyze the given statements and conclusions: - Conclusion I: Some birds are towers. 
- This conclusion doesn't follow directly. Since all birds are fruits and some fruits are towers, we cannot conclusively say that some birds are towers.
- Conclusion II: Some windows are birds. 
- This conclusion also doesn't follow. All towers are windows, and some fruits are towers, but we can't confirm any direct relationship between windows and birds.
- Conclusion III: Some windows are fruits. 
- This conclusion is valid. Since some fruits are towers, and all towers are windows, it follows logically that some windows are fruits.
- Conclusion IV: Some towers are birds. 
- This conclusion is not valid. We cannot deduce that some towers are birds from the given statements.
Thus, the correct answer is (d), "Only III follows."
