Solution

The correct option is B B
Option B

Explanation:

All the flowers are leaves.

Some leaves are birds.

Possible Conclusions:

Since the middle term is not distributed in both the premises, there is no possible conclusion which does not include the middle term. However, the second premise has just been rephrased to form the conclusion (B), making it hold true.

Thus answer option (B) is the correct answer choice.
