Conclusions:
I. Some balls are stones → True (Because all stones are balls so some balls are also stones)
II. No spoon is a stone → False (It is possible but not definite)
III. No stone is a pebble → True (Because all stones are balls and no ball is pebble so definitely no stone is a pebble)
Hence, “Both conclusions I and III follow” is the correct answer.
