Actually, he is saying that 160 runs are made by the spinners and with that statement conclusion one is exactly true but the option he has given as answer was wrong why did he choose that I didn't understand.

Conclusion should be 100% correct but here Conclusion I, II may partially correct so answer is C i.e. neither I nor II follows.
