Read the following statement carefully and identify the conclusion that follows. Statement: Most farmers in the region depend on monsoon rains for irrigation. Conclusions: I. The region does not have proper irrigation infrastructure. Il. A weak monsoon may reduce agricultural output.

AOnly Conclusion I follows

BOnly Conclusion Il follows

CBoth I and Il follow

DNeither I nor Il follows

Answer:

B. Only Conclusion Il follows

Read Explanation:

Conclusion I does not definitely follow because the statement only says that farmers depend on monsoon rains. It does not clearly state that proper irrigation infrastructure is absent.

Conclusion II does follow because if farmers depend on monsoon rains, then a weak monsoon can reduce agricultural output.

So, only Conclusion II follows.
