Statements: Jade plant has thick leaves and it requires little water.
Conclusions:
- All plants with thick leaves require little water.
- Jade plants may be grown in places where water is not in abundance.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The statement talks of jade plants only and not 'all plants with thick leaves'. So, I does not follow. Also, since jade plants require little water, so they can be grown in places where water is not in abundance. So, II follows.

According to me, Option c may be chosen. But we can't take a particular decision in this case.

I think option B is wrong because there is no statement stating about its growth or where the water is not abundance and all that stuff.
It may be an assumption we can make but may or may not be correct.

I think it can be grown or it can't be. Option B is wrong not a definite conclusion.
