    D Only II and either I or III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All I, II and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    No Planet is a Moon (E) + Some Moon are Star (I) → Some Star are not Planet (O) + All Axis are Planet (A) → No conclusion. Hence neither conclusion I nor III follows but it will make a complementary pair. Hence either conclusion I or III follows. Some Sun are Axis (I) + All Axis are Planet (A) → Some Sun are Planet (I). Hence conclusion II follows.
