Conclusions:

I. Some plastic is steel ⟶ False (From Venn diagram we see no plastic is steel)

II. Some iron is steel ⟶ True (From Venn diagram we see some iron is steel)

III. No steel is plastic ⟶ True (From Venn diagram we see no plastic is steel)

Hence, the correct answer is Only conclusion II and III follow.
