CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. Shelves are kept out of the rack circle only; the stand circle is bigger, so shelves may or may not overlap it. Neither I nor II is definite.

  2. The pair is a complementary Some/No pair on shelves and stands, so one of them must be true.

  3. Either I or II follows.

Concept
No + All; the Some/No either-or pair
