Explanation:

Let’s break down the statements and conclusions:

- Some orange is tomato: There is an overlap between oranges and tomatoes.

- Only a few tomato is apple: Means part of tomato is apple, but some tomato is not apple.

- All apple is lemon: Every apple belongs to the lemon group.

Now, let's check the conclusions:

I. Some lemon is orange

- Since all apples are lemons, and only some apples (which are also tomatoes) overlap with oranges (via tomato), but no direct link exists between orange and lemon except through apples. However, it's not certain that the "some orange" are also those tomatoes which are apples (hence lemon). Can't say for sure.

II. Some tomato is not apple

- "Only a few tomato is apple" directly suggests that some tomato is not apple.

Options:

- Option 1: Only I follows (Incorrect)

- Option 2: Only II follows

- Option 3: Either I or II follows (Incorrect)

- Option 4: Neither I nor II follows (Incorrect)

- Option 5: Both I and II follow (Incorrect)

Correct answer: Option 2 — Only II follows.
