    C I and II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All are correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    III - The adverb ‘both’ can never be followed by ‘or’ and ‘both’ itself means including two things and the usage of ‘or’ depicts two alternatives / options. Thus, ‘or’ should be replaced with the conjunction ‘and’. If women do a lot more unpaid work than men but society does not value their unpaid work, this structural inequality perpetuates an asymmetric power relationship, both materially or in the mind.
