Conclusions:

I. Some mountains are snakes → False (because no direct relationship is given between mountains and snakes so it may be possible but not defined)

II. Some roads are snakes → False (because no direct relationship is given between roads and snakes so it may be possible but not defined)

III. Some mountains are trees → True (because some trees are roads and all roads are mountains so definitely some mountains are trees )

So, Only (III) conclusion follows.
