Statements: Our securities investments carry market risk. Consult your investment advisor or agent before investing.
Conclusions:
- One should not invest in securities.
- The investment advisor calculates the market risk with certainty.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Investment in securities involves risk. This does not mean that one should not invest in securities. So, I does not follow. Since the statement advises one to consult investment advisor before investing, so II follows.

I agree. The statement did not state that the advisor could calculate with certainty. Answer B would be and assumption and therefore could not be beyond reasonable doubt.

I agree. The statement "with certainty" makes II not follow.

Nobody can predict with certainty. What happens in the market cannot be certified.

The word 'With certainty' does not seems to be logical. No one can predict with certainty.So neither follows.
