Correct Answer: Only II follows


Solution : According to the above-given statement,
Conclusions (I): All fresh plants are cactus.
This conclusion is false as in the given statement we have information related to only cactus that cactus plants are fresh but need the least water but it is not given that all fresh plants are cactus. 
Conclusion (II): Cactus plants need the least water.
This conclusion is true as it is given in the statement that cactus plants are fresh but need the least water.

Therefore, only conclusion II follows. Hence, the second option is correct.
