B) (i) and (ii) are correct statements but not (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 false because the multiple standard error of estimate measures the variation about the regression plane when more than one dependent variable is considered, not independent variables. 
(ii) is false because the coefficient of multiple determination (R-squared) can only range from 0 to 1, so it cannot equal -0.76. 
(iii) is true, the number of degrees of freedom associated with the regression sum of squares in the regression equation model equals the number of independent variables.
