Both options i and ii provide valid reasons for not using objective techniques. Option iii is not a valid reason as it implies a lack of knowledge rather than a specific reason for not using objective techniques. Option iv is also a valid reason as a firm may prioritize other aspects of their operations over cost estimation. Therefore, choices i, ii, and iv are the best answer.
