The reaction is a Friedel-Crafts acylation of benzene using acetyl chloride and aluminum chloride as a catalyst. The major product formed in this reaction is always the monoacylated product due to steric hindrance of further substitution. Therefore, the only major product formed in this reaction is III. I and II are possible minor products but they are not the major product.
