Comparing question and statement I we get : co = good, so 'sin' & 'bye' will refer either he or is.
Comparing the question and statement II we get: 'sin', 'bye' = he/is, therefore 'mic' must be 'honest'.
So, the Answer should be A.
Correct me, if I am wrong.

Should not it be answer B?
I do agree the second statement, but not the first one.
As,
sin co bye = He is good
co mot det = they are good
We assume that the only word in common is "co" means good.
However, the position of the verbs and the pronoun are different.
Sin co Bye
He good is
And
Co mot det
Good ? ?
The location of the verb and pronoun are different from the first statement..
