    A Only I Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only I & II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only II & III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All I, II & III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Solution Both I and II use the given word correctly. CONDUCT refers to the action or manner of managing an activity or organisation; I uses this word to convey how the scientist managed the experiment. CONDUCT also means the manner in which a person behaves, especially in a particular context; II uses this word to convey how the behaviour of the person was unprofessional. Thus, C is the right answer. III is incorrect, as it confuses CONDUCTOR (a substance or material that allows electricity to flow through it) with CONDUCT. It explains that metal is a good conductor of heat and electricity.
