Answer: D. Only conclusion I follows

Answer: (D) Only conclusion I follows

The pens that are pencils can never be erasers, so some pens are not erasers (I follows). Erasers may or may not overlap with the other pens, so II is not certain.

Convention (as in SSC papers): the statements are taken as true even if they seem odd, every group named in a statement is assumed to have at least one member, and a conclusion follows only if it is true in every possible Venn diagram of the statements.
