CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. Two 'Some' statements give no definite link between jars and caps, so neither I nor II follows on its own.

  2. Both conclusions are about jars and caps, and 'Some … are' and 'No … is' are exact opposites: in every picture exactly one is true.

  3. Either I or II follows.
