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

    Solution

    All apples are bananas. (A) + All bananas are papayas(A) = All apples are papayas(A). Hence, conclusion I will follow. All pears are bananas (A) + All bananas are papayas(A) =  All pears are papayas. Hence, conclusion II will also follow. All apples are papayas(A) ⇒ conversion ⇒ Some papayas are apple (I). Hence, conclusion III will also follow.
