The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Translate the statements into Venn diagram relationships:
- Forces are a subset of Energies, which in turn are a subset of Powers.
- Heat is completely separate from Powers (no overlap).
Analyzing the conclusions:
- Conclusion (I) is false because all forces are contained within powers; so no forces lie outside powers.
- Conclusion (II) is true because no power overlaps with heat, and since forces are within powers, no heat can be a force.
