Answer: B. Only III follows

Answer: (B) Only III follows
Explanation:
1. For Conclusion I: Statement 1 tells us all scientists are inside the "visionaries" circle. Statement 2 says "visionaries" overlaps with "innovators". However, the "scientists" circle doesn't have to touch the "innovators" circle. Thus, Conclusion I is possible but not definitely true.
2. For Conclusion II: We know no innovator is an imitator, but the "imitator" circle can still overlap with the non-innovator part of the "visionary" circle.
