Answer 1

The correct option is A Conclusions I, III and IV follow

It is very much possible that all trees can be roses.So, $1$ follows.

There is a possibility that some flowers are fruits, but its not certain. Hence, $2$ does not necessarily follow.

There is a possibility that all fruits be petals. So, $3$ also follows.

Finally, all petals are trees, is certainly true. So, $4$ also follows.
