Solution
Based on the given statements:
- All trees are plants
- Some fruits are plants
- All fruits are leaves
We can draw the following conclusions:
- Some leaves are plants: This conclusion is true. Since all fruits are leaves and some fruits are plants, it follows that some leaves are plants.
- Some trees are fruits: This conclusion is false. There is no statement that directly or indirectly implies that some trees are fruits.
So, the correct answer is "Only conclusion I follows".
