    B Both (I) and (II) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only (III) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Both (II) and (III) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    I- IncorrectThis is a third conditional sentence (talking about a past unreal condition).
    The phrase "could be averted" is incorrect because it uses the present conditional instead of the perfect conditional.
    The correct form should be: If the government had implemented the policy earlier, the crisis could have been averted.

    III-Incorrect"Each" is a singular subject, so it should be followed by has, not “have.”

    II- CorrectThe sentence is grammatically correct and contextually meaningful.
