Statements:

B. All goats are peacocks.
C. All peacocks are eagles.

II. All dogs are peacocks.
III. All eagles are peacocks.

Correct answer: (A) Only conclusion I follows
Explanation
Some dogs are goats and all goats are peacocks, so some dogs are peacocks, which means some peacocks are dogs (I follows). Not every dog has to be a goat, so II fails, and "all peacocks are eagles" does not reverse, so III fails.
