    C Both I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Both I and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    All Apples are Oranges (A) + No Orange is a Pear (E) → No Apple is a Pear (E) → Conversion → Some Pears are not apples (O). Hence conclusion I follows. Some Pumpkins are Apple (I) + All Apples are Oranges (A) → Some Pumpkins are Oranges (I) → Probable conclusion → All Pumpkins can be Oranges (A). Hence conclusion II follows Some Pumpkins are Apples (I) + All Apples are Orange (A) → Some Pumpkins are Oranges (I) + No Orange is a Pear (E) → Some Pumpkins are not pears (O). Hence conclusion III does not follow.
