    A Only i Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only ii and iii Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only i and iii Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D All are correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In sentence (i), 'gateway' is used correctly to mean an entrance or means of access to a location or opportunity. In sentence (ii), 'gateway' is incorrectly used, as it doesn't fit with the idea of increasing savings. Typically, 'gateway' refers to a literal or metaphorical means of entry to something, not an increase in money. In sentence (iii), 'gateway' is correctly used to refer to something that provides access or entry to something else, in this case, information via the internet.
