✓ Correct Answer: Option C Verified Solution

📘 Step-by-Step Solution & Detailed Explanation:

\[ \textbf{Statements:} \\ 1. \; \text{All apples are fruits.} \\ 2. \; \text{All fruits are tasty.} \] \[ \textbf{Conclusions:} \\ I. \; \text{All apples are tasty.} \\ II. \; \text{Some tasty things are apples.} \] \[ \textbf{Step 1: Analyze Conclusion I.} \] From the statements: \[ \text{All apples } \subseteq \text{fruits}, \quad \text{All fruits } \subseteq \text{tasty}. \] By transitivity: \[ \text{All apples } \subseteq \text{tasty}. \] Hence, Conclusion I follows. \[ \textbf{Step 2: Analyze Conclusion II.} \] Since all apples are tasty, it directly implies: \[ \text{Some tasty things are apples.} \] Hence, Conclusion II also follows. \[ \textbf{Final Answer: Both Conclusion I and II follow.} \]
