CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. Each 'Some' only says two circles touch somewhere. Two 'Some' statements in a row never give a definite link.

  2. Lemons and oranges are joined only through two Some statements, so I is not definite. Limes and melons likewise, so II is not definite.

  3. I and II are about different pairs, so they cannot be an either-or pair.

  4. Neither I nor II follows.
