How can B be correct as the question mentions "written examinations" and II mentions "exam" which doesn't have to be written....

How can we assume it directly that "The brilliant and industrious students cannot always write good answers in the exam" ..is there any survey conducted on it??

The statement is saying about "to excel " and the conclusion is for " good answers ". Hence if a brilliant and industrious student may not excel but can write an good exam. So I think Statement II is also wrong. And answer should be "D".

It is not the fact that brilliant student cannot excel in written exam. It is all because of their ability whether they can or cannot. So D is correct. Am I right.
