  1. Only conclusion I follows.

  2. Only conclusion II follows

  3. Both I and II follow.

  4. Neither I nor II follows.

Show answer & explanation

Answer: (A) Only conclusion I follows.

Explanation

If religions give the guiding principles for leading one's life, religion shapes how life is lived, i.e. it is a way of life; I follows. The statement says religions teach principles, not that religion itself is a 'teacher' in a literal sense, so II is not a definite conclusion. Only I follows.
