The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows:

I. Some wood being chair is a possibility → True (as there is no definite relation between Wood and Chair so, the possibility is true.)

II. Some wood is not a table → True (as no table is bench and only a few benches are wood so, the part of wood which is bench is not table)

Hence, both I and II follow.
