Statements:
I. All dahlias are lilies.
II. All sunflowers are lilies.
III. Some dahlias are hibiscus.
Conclusions:

II. Some hibiscuses are not lilies.
III. Some lilies are hibiscus.​​

A.

B.

Only conclusion III follows.

C.

D.

Both conclusion II and III follow.

Correct option is B

Statements:
I. All dahlias are lilies.
II. All sunflowers are lilies.
III. Some dahlias are hibiscus.
From the given statements Venn diagram will be: 
Conclusions:
I. Some sunflowers are not dahlias. (Not follows, The statement "All sunflowers are lilies" and "All dahlias are lilies" doesn’t imply any exclusion between sunflowers and dahlias. )
II. Some hibiscuses are not lilies. (Not follows, Since all dahlias are lilies and some dahlias are hibiscuses, this doesn't guarantee that some hibiscuses are not lilies. They could all be lilies.)
III. Some lilies are hibiscus. (Follows,  This is true because since some dahlias are hibiscuses, and all dahlias are lilies, some lilies are hibiscuses.)
So, Only conclusion III follows.
