CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

The statements only say the blanket circle is partly inside and partly outside the quilt circle. The quilt circle may lie wholly inside the blankets or may stick out.
So neither 'Some quilts are not blankets' nor 'All quilts are blankets' is definite.
They share the same subject and predicate (quilts, blankets) and form the complementary All / Some-not pair: one of them must be true.
Either I or II follows.

Worth noting

The complementary pairs are Some/No and All/Some-not, on the same two groups. All/Some-not is the one students forget.
