Explanation:

- All Rivers are Mountains: This indicates that every entity defined as a river is also considered a mountain.

- Some Rivers are Lakes: This implies there is at least a part of the river category that overlaps with the category of lakes.

Conclusion I: Some Mountains are Lakes.

- Since all rivers are mountains and some rivers are lakes, the overlap between rivers and lakes implies some mountains are indeed lakes.

Conclusion II: Some Lakes are not Mountains.

- This conclusion isn't necessarily true because the statements do not provide enough information. All lakes mentioned could also be mountains due to the relationship of rivers with mountains.

- Option 1: Only I follows is correct because the logical relationship established by the statements supports the first conclusion but not necessarily the second.
