A. Only conclusion I follows

B. Only conclusion II follows

C. Neither I nor II follows

D. Both I and II follow

Explanation

  • Since the middle term ‘good athletes’ is distributed twice in the premises, the conclusion must be particular and should not contain the middle term. So it follows that ‘Some of those who win, eat well’.
