Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation:
Neither conclusion follows. Following some practices of leading institutes does not make M.N. Institute a leading institute itself (I). Conclusion II is an overgeneralization; the statement only says they follow 'some of the best' practices, not that everything followed by leading institutes is good.
