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.

The answer is 3 only.

Because it gives the relation between the rate of men versus women.
