Statement: The successful test of the Hydrogen bomb of North Korea is a threat to the United States and its ally countries.
Conclusions:

II. The US and its ally countries should not worry about North Korea's successful test of a Hydrogen bomb as it has only increased its nuclear arsenal.
Option 1: Only I follows
Option 2: Only II follows
Option 3: Neither I nor II follows
Option 4: Both I and II follow
Correct Answer: Neither I nor II follows
Solution :
According to the above-given statement –
Conclusion I:
North Korea will declare a state of war against the US and its ally countries soon – Though North Korea has successfully tested a hydrogen bomb, it does not imply that North Korea will declare a state of war as it could be for any other purpose as well.
Conclusion II:
The US and its ally countries should not worry about North Korea's successful test of a Hydrogen bomb as it has only increased its nuclear arsenal – It's not confirmed from the above statement that North Korea will never attack the US and its ally countries and this test has only been done to increase its nuclear arsenal. Any motive can be there behind this successful test.
Therefore, the correct answer is neither conclusion I nor conclusion II. Hence, the third option is correct.
