    Solution

    1.       (e) The word 'realm' means 'a kingdom'; 'a field or domain of activity or interest'. In sentence I, the word 'realm' is used for describing a kingdom that is located nearby a water body and it is also grammatically correct in its usage. In sentence II, the word 'realms' is used to describe the different scopes and activities one can enjoy or come across in one's life. The use of the word is contextually and grammatically correct. In sentence III, the word 'realms' is used to describe a thing that is used to record events. Its use is contextually incorrect and the appropriate word to be used in this sentence is 'reels' (a cylinder on which film, wire, thread, or other flexible materials can be wound). Hence, the correct answer is option (e).
