Solution

The correct answer is A. Only conclusion I & III follows.

Here's the step by step reasoning:

Statement 1: All animals are plants. This means that every animal is also a plant.

Statement 2: All plants are shrubs. This means that every plant, including all animals (since all animals are plants), are also shrubs.

Conclusion I: Some shrubs are plants. This is true because according to statement 2, all plants are shrubs. So, it's correct to say that some shrubs are plants.

Conclusion II: Some animals are not shrubs. This is false because according to the statements, all animals are plants and all plants are shrubs. So, all animals are shrubs. There are no animals that are not shrubs.

Conclusion III: All animals are shrubs. This is true because according to the statements, all animals are plants and all plants are shrubs. So, all animals are indeed shrubs.

So, only conclusions I and III logically follow from the statements.
