    B Only Conclusion II and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only Conclusion I and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only Conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Some Rewards are Awards (I) + No Awards are Appraisals (E) → Some Rewards are not Appraisals (O). Hence conclusion I follows. Some Medals are Awards (I) + No Awards are Appraisals (E) → Some Medals are not Appraisals (O). Hence conclusion II follows. Some Medals are Awards (I) + Some Rewards are Awards (I) → Conversion → Some Awards are Rewards (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion III does not follow.
