"Sagacious" means wise, insightful, or having keen judgment. (I) is correct because it describes a wise leader who provides guidance based on insight and foresight, which is a direct use of the word "sagacious." (II) is also correct because it correctly uses "sagacious" to describe wise advice that led to a positive outcome, demonstrating good judgment in the decision to invest in technology. (III) is incorrect because it misuses "sagacious" in the context of a performance. "Sagacious" is about wisdom and insight, not about acting ability, so itβs not appropriate for describing a performance in a play.
