Correct answer: C

Rings are inside bangles, but the chain overlap may lie outside the rings. I is not definite.
The chains that are not anklets may all be chains outside the bangle circle. Then every bangle could be an anklet, so II is not definite.
I and II are about different pairs, so there is no either-or.
Neither I nor II follows.
