• D. If neither A nor B follows
• E. If both A and B follow

Answer 1

The correct option is D If neither A nor B follows

Statement I All acids are corrosive.
Statement II Some corrosive substances are bases.
Conclusion A No acid is a base. False, the acids that are corrosive may or may not be the bases that are corrosive. So some acid can be a base.
Conclusion B Some bases are not corrosive. False, some corrosives are bases, but we don't know if all bases are corrosive or some bases are corrosive.
