• B. I and II follow
• C. I and either II or IV follow
• D. Either II or IV follows
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C I and either II or IV follow


Conclusions
I. II. $\times$ III. $\times$ IV. $\times$
But Conclusions II and IV are opposite or contradict each other.
So either one of them can be correct.
So, conclusion I and either II or IV follow.
