B.
Only I and IV follow
Answer
C.
Only II and III follow
D.
All follow
E.
All follow

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
Since both the premises are universal and affirmative, the conclusion must be universal affirmative and should not contain the middle term. So, it follows that 'All branches are leaves'. Thus, I follows. IV is the converse of this conclusion and so it also holds.
