Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Only conclusion II follows.

The least possible diagram is shown below:

Conclusions:

I. Some milk are butter → Does not follow (This conclusion does not follow as there is no definite relation between milk and butter.)

II. Some butter are curd → Follow (This conclusion follow as some curd are butter this also means that some butter are curd.)

Thus, only conclusion II follows.

Hence, the correct answer is only conclusion II follows.
