A Correct answer
Explanation

Yes, it's the correct choice.

All bananas are apples (A) + some whites are apples (I)

 A + I = No conclusion

Hence, conclusion II does not follow.

Again, some whites are apples conversion Some apples are whites

Some apples are whites (I) + all whites are ices (A)  I + A = I  Some apples are ices (I) implication is Some ices are apples.

Some ices are apples (I) + all bananas are apples = No conclusion Because middle terms are not common.

But possible relation exists between bananas and ices.

Thus, conclusion I follow.
