i ) correctly uses "pelting" as a verb meaning throwing something, like stones, with force. In (ii), "pelting" doesn't fit grammatically here, as it doesn't make sense in the context of "a decade together." It seems to be a misuse of the word. In (iii), "pelting" is not the appropriate word here. The sentence should likely use "wasting" or "spending," not "pelting." Hence, only sentence i uses "pelting" correctly. Therefore, the answer is B) Only i
