B.
Only conclusion II follows
C.
Either I or II follows
AnswerD.
Neither I nor II follows
E.
Both I and II follow
Answer: Option C
Solution
Answer: Option C

As discussed above, the conclusion must be particular negative and should not contain the middle term. So, it follows that 'Some books are not pencils'. However, I and II involve only the extreme terms and form a complementary pair. Thus, either I or II follows.
