There exists at least one robot; All robots are inspected daily; Some inspected devices are not robots. Which statement must be true?

There is at least one robot and every robot is inspected daily, so that existing robot must be inspected. Therefore, some robots are inspected. This conclusion follows directly from applying the universal claim to the known existence of a robot. The other options either conflict with the given facts (no robots are inspected would contradict that robots are inspected) or state something not required by the information (all inspected devices being robots would contradict that some inspected devices are not robots).
