    A Only ii and iii Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only iii Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only i and ii Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only i and iii Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Only ii Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The sentences individually talk about the radar and automatic control and warning measures. The first sentence mentions that the radar is linked to an alarm system, and the second sentence mentions the result/use of radar being linked to the alarm. So, the linking words which may be used should connect the sentences in a way that the first sentence is the reason why the radar is able to enable automatic control and warning measures. 'As' and 'since' go before the reason. When they are at the beginning of the sentence, we put a comma in the middle to separate the clauses. So, the sentence formed would be: As/since the radar is also linked to an alarm system, it enables automatic control and warning measures in case an avalanche is triggered. 'Eventually' is not used before the clause which gives the reason. So, Only i and ii are correct. Hence, option (c) is the answer.
