The correct answer is: EI0, EII=0, EIII0

In region I, due to charge at centre, electric field will be present.

But in region II, electric field will be zero as electric field inside material of conductor is zero.

Again for outside region, net charges enclosed is not zero and therefore electric field will exist.
