(I) Children start writing with a pen in sixth standard.
(II) Ink pen is prescribed by most of the schools for school kids to write with as it maintains the handwriting and comfort of child.

    Only conclusion II follows
  2. B
    Conclusion I and II both follow
  3. C
    Neither I nor II follow
  4. D
    Only conclusion I follows

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

* Conclusion I: Statement I says kids start writing with a pen in the sixth standard, but it doesn't mean they are unable to use it on their own completely before that. It's just a school rule/norm. Hence, conclusion I does not follow.
Conclusion II: The statement mentions that ink pens maintain handwriting and comfort, but it does not specify technical reasons like "proper flow of ink" or "takes less effort." Hence, conclusion II goes beyond the given text scope and does not logically follow.

Therefore, neither conclusion I nor II follows.
