Correct Answer: Both I and II follow


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

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): Some leaves are plants – From the diagram, we can see that some parts of the circles that represent plants and leaves intersect each other and have some common area between them, which means that some leaves are plants is a true conclusion.
Conclusion (II): Some plants are flowers – From the diagram, we can see that some parts of the circles that represent plants and flowers intersect each other and have some common part between them, which means that some plants are flowers is a true conclusion.

Therefore, both conclusions I and II follow is the correct answer. Hence, the third option is correct.
