Correct Answer: Only conclusion (II) is true


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


Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): Some horses are oceans – From the Venn diagram, there is no definite relation between horses and oceans. So, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (II): Some animals are books – From the Venn diagram, there is some region common to both animals and books. So, this conclusion follows.

Thus, the only conclusion (II) is true. Hence, the third option is correct.
