Please give the answer with full explanation.

Sir, please explain this.

Read the main question carefully and you will get that we have to find the option which is not essential to solve the question.

So by any two options, we can give the answer, the third is not necessary.

That's why the answer is I, II, III. So we can remove any one of three.

Since any of the two statements are enough to solve the question the other one will be redundant providing same results. So for any combination one of them will be redundant.

Oh yes. If the redundant statement is asked.
