    C Neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Some summers are winters (I) + No winter is a season (E) → Some summers are not season (O) + Some seasons are autumns (I) → No conclusion. Hence neither conclusion I nor III follow. No winter is a season (E) + Some seasons are autumns (I) → Some autumns are not winters (O). Hence conclusion II follows.
