A Only conclusion I follows
B Only conclusion II follows
C Either I or II follows
D Neither I nor II follows

Show answer and explanation

Answer: C. Either I or II follows

Neither conclusion follows on its own, because the sweet fruits may or may not include apples. But 'Some apples are sweet' and 'No apple is sweet' form a complementary pair - one of them must be true. So the answer is 'Either I or II follows'.
