    A Only conclusions I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusions I and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusions II and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    All Circle are Square (A) + No Square is a Triangular (E) → No Circle is a Triangular (E). Hence conclusion I follows. Some Linear are Parallel (I) + Some Parallel are Triangular (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion II does not follow. All Circle are Square (A) + No Square is a Triangular (E) → No Circle is a Triangular (E) + [Some Parallel are Triangular (I) → Conversion] → Some Triangular are Parallel (I) → Some Parallel are not Circle. (O*). Hence conclusion III follows.
