The least possible Venn diagram is:

Conclusions:

I. Some D are B → True (All C are part of D, and Some B are C, so the part of D which is C is also B).

II. Some B are C → True (As Some C are B is already given).

III. All C are B → False (This is possible but not definite).

Hence, Both conclusions I and II follow.
