    Solution

    The word "pang" is a noun that means a sudden sharp feeling of pain, distress, or emotion (e.g., pang of guilt, pang of hunger, pang of homesickness).Sentence I is correct -"A pang of homesickness" correctly conveys a sudden feeling of longing for home.Sentence II is incorrect as "pang" is incorrectly used as a verb here, which is not its correct grammatical form.Sentence III is also. "An unwelcome pang of rivalry" properly conveys a sudden feeling of rivalry.Thus, both I & III are correct.Therefore, the correct answer is 3) Both I & III.
