CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Toys exist, every toy is a game, and no toy is a doll. So those games (the toys) are not dolls: II follows.
The games that are puzzles may be games that are not toys, and those can be dolls. So every puzzle could be a doll, and I is not definite.
Only II follows.

Worth noting

'No doll is a toy' says nothing about games outside the toy circle. Check which part of the bigger circle the third statement actually touches.

Concept: No + All gives Some … not; the third statement adds nothing
