Question and options

The question contains one statement followed by two conclusions I and II. Working within the framework of the given statement, decide which conclusion(s) follow.

Statement: India loses more than 22% of its export revenues every year due to the increasing illegal trafficking of artifacts, although official statistics may not reflect the harsh reality.
Conclusions:
I. Illegal trafficking of artifacts is causing India a significant loss of export revenue.
II. Official reports are more often than not false.
  1. Conclusion I follows
  2. Conclusion II follows
  3. Both the conclusions I and II follow
  4. Either conclusion I or II follows

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A - Conclusion I follows
The statement says India loses more than 22% of its export revenues every year due to illegal trafficking of artifacts, so I follows. II overgeneralises 'official statistics may not reflect the harsh reality' to all official reports, so it does not follow.
