Statements : No rabbit is lion. Some horses are lions. All rabbits are tables. Conclusions : I. Some tables are lions. II. Some horses are rabbits. III. No lion is table.

None follows
Only either I or III follows
Only II and III follow
Only III follows E. None of these

The correct answer is $\boxed{\text{A. None follows}}$.

The first statement, “No rabbit is lion”, is in the form of “All $A$ are not $B$”. The second statement, “Some horses are lions”, is in the form of “Some $C$ are $B$”. The third statement, “All rabbits are tables”, is in the form of “All $A$ are $D$”.

To form a valid conclusion, we need to use the rules of logic. One of the rules of logic is that we cannot conclude that “Some $D$ are $B$” from the statements “All $A$ are not $B$” and “Some $C$ are $B$”. This is because there could be other things that are $B$, besides $C$. For example, if all dogs are not cats and some animals are cats, then we cannot conclude that some animals are dogs.

Similarly, we cannot conclude that “Some horses are tables” from the statements “No rabbit is lion” and “All rabbits are tables”. This is because there could be other things that are tables, besides rabbits. For example, if no dogs are cats and all cats are tables, then we cannot conclude that some dogs are tables.

We also cannot conclude that “No lion is table” from the statements “No rabbit is lion” and “All rabbits are tables”. This is because there could be other things that are lions, besides rabbits. For example, if no dogs are cats and all cats are tables, then we cannot conclude that no lions are tables.

Therefore, none of the conclusions follow from the given statements.
