The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Concept: Statements: Some Professors are Doctors All Doctors are Patients

Step 1: Analyze Conclusion I.

Step 2: Analyze Conclusion II.
Given: Some Professors are Doctors This directly contradicts No Doctor is a Professor Hence Conclusion II does not follow.

Step 3: Final decision.
Only Conclusion I follows. \[ \boxed{\text{Option (A)}} \]
