Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

Only conclusion I follows.

Why this answer is correct

Given

Statement:

A ≥ C ≥ D ≥ F = H ≤ C

I. H ≤ A → As (A ≥ C ≥ D ≥ F = H) it is clear that A ≥ H, hence true.

II. D ≥ C → As (C ≥ D), it is clear that (D ≥ C) is not correct, hence false.

So, only conclusion I follows.
