Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I):
Some chopsticks are aprons – From the Venn diagram, we can see that the two circles representing chopsticks and aprons overlap and have a part of their area in common. So, this conclusion follows.
Conclusion (II):
No forks are knives – From the Venn diagram, we can see that the circle representing forks is completely overlapped by the circle representing knives. So all forks are knives. So, this conclusion does not follow.
So, the only conclusion (I) follows. Hence, the third option is correct.
