- ANeither follows
- BOnly II follows
- COnly I follows
- DEither I or II follows
Step-by-Step Solution
Both X and Z lie at or below Y, so their order is not fixed — X could be less than, equal to, or greater than Z. Conclusions I (X < Z) and II (X ≥ Z) together cover every case and are mutually exclusive, so exactly one must hold: either I or II follows.
Answer: D) Either I or II follows
