CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. Some moons are stars, and no star is a cloud, so those moons can never be clouds. 'All moons being clouds' is impossible: I does not follow.

  2. Planets that are not moons (or moons that are not stars) are unrestricted, so a picture where some planets are clouds obeys every statement. II follows.

  3. Only II follows.
