    D Both II & III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All I, II & III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Solution ‘Plot’ in the given sentence means ‘a scheme or plan, especially one intended to manipulate or deceive’, referring to the mastermind's careful planning to profit from chaos. ‘Plot’ in sentence I also refers to a ‘scheme or conspiracy’ aimed at damaging the government, which aligns with the meaning in the main sentence. ‘Plot’ in sentence II means ‘the main story or narrative structure of a literary work’, describing the components of the historical drama, which is a different context. ‘Plot’ in sentence III means ‘a piece of land’, specifically referring to the space for the community garden, which is also a different context. Thus, options II and III present a different meaning for the word ‘plot’ compared to its usage in the main sentence. Hence, option D is the correct answer.
