(i) is correct as an outcome is indeed a particular result of an experiment. (ii) is correct because independent events are defined by the fact that the occurrence of one does not affect the occurrence of the other. (iii) is incorrect because when the order of objects is important, it is referred to as a permutation, not a combination. In combinations, the order does not matter.
