    D Only conclusions II and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Only conclusions I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    All planets are large (A) + No large is small (E) → No planets is small (E). Hence conclusion I follows. No large is small (E) + All small are stars (A) → Some stars are not large (O). Hence conclusion II does not follow. All planets are large (A) + No large is small (E) → No planets is small (E) + All small are stars (A) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion III does not follow.
