Option B can be represented diagrammatically as follows without violating any of the conditions:

As we can see, we can infer only conclusion I. Conclusion II cannot be inferred. Therefore, we can eliminate
option B as well. 

Option C can be represented diagrammatically as follows:

Only conclusion II can be inferred from option C. Conclusion I cannot be inferred from the diagram given
above. Therefore, we can eliminate option C too.

Option E can be represented diagrammatically as given below:

Neither of the conclusions can be said to be definitely true. Therefore, we can eliminate option E. 

Option D can be represented diagrammatically as follows:

As we can see, bees that are wasps are flies. Therefore, some bees are flies. Conclusion I is definitely true.

Option C can be represented diagrammatically as follows:

Only conclusion II can be inferred from option C. Therefore, we can eliminate option C as well.

Option D can be represented diagrammatically as follows:

Only conclusion II can be definitely said to be true. Conclusion I may or may not be true. Therefore, we can
eliminate option D as well.

Option E can be represented diagrammatically as follows:
