  • AOnly II follows
  • BBoth I and II follow
  • CNeither I nor II follows
  • DOnly I follows

Step-by-Step Solution

All pens ⊂ books ⊂ tables, so every pen is a table — II follows. 'Some tables are chairs' only guarantees an overlap of tables and chairs, which may lie outside the books region, so 'Some chairs are books' is not guaranteed — I does not follow.
Answer: A) Only II follows
