How A is correct?
Answer: Since the statement says that "The old older changed yielding place to new"
1. Conclusion I follows: Since the statement says that old order has given its place to new which means when that the place has undergone changes due to faults and redundancy in the old order. This concludes that as many times these faults or whatsoever the reason may be come change will happen.
2. Conclusion II doesn't follow: No where it was mention that the old order was changed due to redundancy. It might have been due to various other factors.

@Rameshwar.
So what if it can't be challenged? It can't be supported either.
There's no indication that changing of old orders are a guaranteed effect of time, only that it happened once in the premise statement.

Nature isn't mentioned nor inferred in the statement so option 1 can't be the right answer. Old and new order could be about social, political, religious or economic models which have nothing to do with nature!

Any conclusion having an advise or a result related to the given statement is always true.
Here conclusion 1 is related to statement given while conclusion 2 is not.
So, only 1 follows.

The statement clearly tells that older is changed in order to give place to new. Then how can the answer b change is the law of nature. Didn't get it clearly. Do explain in detail.

Looking at the solution, I think they meant "The old order changes yielding place to new. " and not "The old order changed yielding place to new. ".

The (I) conclusion that is drawn from the given statement can not be challenged.
The 2nd conclusion can be easily challenged so only I follows.
