Correct Answer: None of the conclusion follows


Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statements is as follows –

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): All C is E – From the Venn diagram, we can see that the two circles representing E and C intersect and have only a part of their area in common. So, from this, it can be inferred that some E are C. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (II): All D is C – From the Venn diagram, we can see that the two circles representing D and C intersect and have only a part of their area in common. So, from this, it can be inferred that some D are C. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (III): All E is D – From the Venn diagram, we can see that the circle representing D is completely overlapped by the circle representing E. So, all E cannot be D. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow.

So, none of the conclusions follow. Hence the second option is correct.
