Statements: All those political prisoners were released on bail who had gone to jail for reasons other than political dharnas. Bail was not granted to persons involved in murders.
Conclusions:
- No political - prisoner had committed murder.
- Some politicians were not arrested.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
According to the statement, the political prisoners can be divided into two groups - those who were released and those who were put in jail for political dharnas. However, no person involved in murder was released. This means that no political prisoner had committed murder. So, I follows. Clearly, II is not directly related to the statement and does not follow.

Political prisoners have committed only dharnas---they will get bail.
2nd thing political prisoners did not committed murder (stick to the statement don't imagine).
The prisoner who murdered won't get bail.
All political prisoners got bail, it means no one had committed muder.

I too didn't understand. I think there is some error. It's mentioned 'All those political prisoners....' and not 'All the political prisoners...'
