    C Both I & III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    I) "A pang of homesickness" correctly uses pang to describe a sharp, sudden feeling of emotion. II) "Pang" cannot refer to the duration of a conversation, so it doesn't fit in sentence (ii) III) "A pang of rivalry" correctly uses pang to describe a sudden, sharp feeling of rivalry. So, the correct sentences are I & III.
