    II. All fruits are oranges.
    This contradicts the given statements (since apples are fruits, but oranges are not mentioned as covering all fruits). Therefore, conclusion II does not follow.
    III. Some bananas are fruits.
    Since some bananas are apples, and all apples are fruits, it logically follows that some bananas are fruits. Therefore, Conclusion III follows.
    IV. Some apples are not fruits.​​
    This is directly contradicted by statement (III), which says all apples are fruits. Thus, Conclusion IV does not follow.
    Thus, the correct option is (d) Only III follows.
