Options

A. if only conclusion I follows
B. if only conclusion II follows
C. if either I or II follows
D. if both I and II follow

Answer

D

Explanation

Since the new system gives the students the option of dropping Science and Mathematics, so students weak in these subjects can also be admitted. So, I follows. Also, it is mentioned that the new system will come into effect from the next academic year. This means that it did not exist previously. So, II also follows.
