Correct Answer: Only conclusion I follows


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


Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): All teas are beverages – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circle representing teas is completely inside the circle representing beverages. Thus, it can be concluded that a ll teas are beverages.
