Explanation

In deductive reasoning, a specific conclusion is drawn from general statements or premises. Here, Statement I is a general premise stating that red meat contains iron, and Statement II identifies beef as red meat. Statement III logically follows as the specific conclusion that beef contains iron, based on the premises. Therefore, the correct answer is Option B. Statement II alone is not a conclusion, and Statement I is part of the premises, not the conclusion.
