Solution

The answer is D. Both conclusion I and conclusion II follow.

Here's why:

From the first statement, we know that all bulbs are rods. This means that wherever there is a bulb, there is a rod.

The second statement tells us that no rod is a gun. This means that wherever there is a rod, there cannot be a gun.

So, from these two statements, we can logically conclude that all rods are bulbs. This is because wherever there is a rod, there must be a bulb (from statement 1).

We can also conclude that no bulb is a gun. This is because wherever there is a bulb, there is a rod (from statement 1), and wherever there is a rod, there cannot be a gun (from statement 2).

Therefore, both conclusions I and II follow from the given statements.
