B) (i) is a correct statement but not (ii) or (iii).
C) (i) and (iii) are correct statements but not (ii).
D) (ii) and (iii) are correct statements but not (i).
E) (i), (ii), and (iii) are all false statements.

(i) is true because in a continuous probability distribution, the probability of any given outcome is represented by the area under the curve at that particular point. 
(ii) is true because the total probability of all possible outcomes in any distribution must equal 1. 
(iii) is also true because in a discrete distribution, each possible value of the random variable has a specific probability attached to it.
