Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation:
Conclusion I follows: if a hilly area lacks forest, it is declared backward; therefore, hilly areas with forest are not declared backward. Conclusion II does not follow because the statement only defines a condition for declaring backwardness, not that all backward areas are hilly and without forest.
