Statement:
It is reported that heavy and erratic rainfall has destroyed many agricultural crops and farmers are in debt.

Conclusions:
I. Farmers need not repay the debt → Does not follow → From the given statement there is no information that tells us about the repayment of debt so we cannot assume anything so the conclusion does not follow.

II. Prices of groceries and other essential food items such as lentils and grains will surge → Follow → Since the farmers are in debt and their crops has been destroyed, there will be an increase in the price of upcoming crops by the farmers so that they can make a good amount of money to pay their debt, we can see that this conclusion directly justifies the statement, therefore, the conclusion follow.

So only conclusion II follows.

Hence the correct answer is option 4)
