Answer 1

The correct option is A if only conclusion I follows.

As we can see in the figure there is no connection between kings and queen. So, there will be no connection of queen with princes as well braves too.

Conclusion I is true as it says no connection with queen.

Conclusion II is false as it forms a connection with queen.

Option A is only correct if only conclusion I follows
