Here, the statement says "absolutely self-dependent", that means to some extent countries still depend on other countries for their needs and this links with conclusion I. So, option A is correct.

It should be D. A country can CHOOSE to be dependent on other countries as it may not always be economical to produce all the goods itself. (They may import oil because the cost of domestic production is higher, but this doesn't mean it's impossible).

It should be D since conclusion 1 says that it is never possible to grow and produce all that a country needs, while statement says about these days.

Even I feel it is D. Statement I does not logically follow. In fact, the 'statement' follows directly from I.
So answer should be D.
So answer should be D.
