Show answer and explanation

Answer: B. Only conclusion II follows

Answer: B) Only conclusion II follows
Explanation: The Pens circle lies inside the Markers circle, and the Scales circle overlaps Markers. Scales may or may not touch Pens, so 'Some pens are scales' does not definitely follow. 'Some markers are scales' means some scales are markers, so Conclusion II follows.
