Answer: (B)

only conclusion II follows

Answer 2

To analyze the statement and the conclusions:

Statement:
Now you don't need an import licence to own a VCR.

Conclusions:
I. VCRs are now manufactured indigenously.
II. VCRs are now freely permitted to be imported.

Analysis:
- Conclusion I: VCRs are now manufactured indigenously.
This conclusion cannot be definitively drawn from the statement. The lack of a need for an import license does not imply that VCRs are manufactured domestically; they could still be imported.

- Conclusion II: VCRs are now freely permitted to be imported.
This conclusion logically follows from the statement. If no import license is required to own a VCR, it suggests that importing VCRs is now allowed without restrictions.

Conclusion:
The correct answer is B: If only conclusion II follows.
