Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation:
The statement is an 'If A then B' proposition. It means hard work guarantees success (I follows). However, it does not state 'Only if you work hard', meaning there could be other ways to succeed (e.g., being naturally brilliant). Thus, II does not logically follow.
