D is perfectly right- Neither I nor II follows. We should know for sure, that the conclusion follows all the time. We can not say for sure, that some of the doctors are rich, nor that some rich are doctors because the probability is really low that the doctors who are fools are also rich.

According to me, Some doctors may be rich but all rich are not doctors. Therefore the conclusion is not definite.

We can solve without venn diagram, so fools is mediator in statement first and second statement, so conclusion will be "some doctors are rich".
