Given Statements:

Some vessels are container.

All ships are containers.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

qImage6836f288634a3a1260d2bc02

Conclusions:

I. Some vessels are ships - False (There's no definite information linking vessels directly to ships. So, this is a possibility, not a definite conclusion.)

II. All containers are ships - False (The statement says "All ships are containers", which means ships are a subset of containers. It does not mean that all containers are ships. There can be containers that are not ships.)

So, neither conclusion I nor II follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
