    A Only I Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only I & II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only II & III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The first boldened phrase has been used correctly, but the second boldened phrase contains an error. A plural verb should be used with a plural noun, however, 'has' is a singular verb and 'farmers' is a plural noun. So, 'has' should be replaced by 'have' to correct the phrase. Hence, (a) is the correct answer.
