I. Some black are shoes → True (as some shoes are black)

II. Some heels are black → False (it is possible but not definite)

III. No heels are black → False (it is possible but not definite)

∵ Conclusion II and III are complementary to each other, one of them will be true

Hence, ‘Conclusion I and either conclusion II or III follow’ is the correct answer.
