Conclusions:

I. No leaf is a plant → False (It is possible but not definite)

II. No leaf is a flower → True (From the Venn diagram we see it is possible)

III. Some flowers are plants → False (It is possible but not definite)

IV. All leaves are plants → False (It is possible but not definite)

 

Hence, the correct answer is Only conclusion II follows.
