CorrectNot quiteAnswer D
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Draw the sail circle entirely inside the flag circle. It still overlaps flags and no flag is a banner, so every statement holds: I follows.
Or let some sails lie outside the flags and overlap the banners. The statements still hold, so II follows.
Both I and II follow.
