  • AOnly I follows
  • BNeither I nor II follows
  • COnly II follows
  • DBoth I and II follow

Step-by-Step Solution

The cats that are dogs cannot be lions (no dog is a lion), so some cats are not lions (I follows). Since some cats are definitely dogs and hence non-lions, it is impossible for all cats to be lions (II follows). Both follow.
Answer: D) Both I and II follow
