Answer: D

Correct answer: Only I follows

From the universal that all men are mortal it follows that every one of them must die, which is conclusion I - mortality means precisely that.

In this statement, the author concludes that the glittering thing is gold. His reason for this conclusion is that "It glitters". This points to the fact that the author of this statement opines that only gold glitters and no other thing glitters. This opinion of the author can also be said to be his assumption. Hence (I) is an assumption. (II) is not an assumption as it contradicts the author's view.
