Given Statements:

All lions are tigers.

All lions are pigeons.

All tigers are apes.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

F6 Savira SSC 2-9-24 D1

Conclusions:

I. All pigeons are apes - False (Because the given statements do not provide a direct relationship between all pigeons and apes. Only lions, which are a subset of pigeons, are apes).

II. At least some tigers are pigeons - True (Because all lions are pigeons and all lions are tigers, hence there is an intersection between tigers and pigeons).

So, Only conclusion II follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
