Some walnuts are cashews.
    A Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusion IV follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D No conclusion follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Some cashews are almonds (I) + All almonds are walnuts (A) → Some cashews are walnuts (I) + Some walnuts are raisins (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion I does not follow. All almonds are walnuts (A) + Some walnuts are raisins (I) → No conclusion. Hence neither conclusion II nor III follow. Some cashews are almonds (I) + All almonds are walnuts (A) → Some cashews are walnuts (I) → Conversion → Some walnuts are cashews (I). Hence conclusion IV follows.
