    A Only 1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only 1 and 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only 1 and 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only 2 and 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All 1, 2 and 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    (b) is the right answer as only 1 and 2 are grammatically correct and meaningful. In 3, replace TEMPERATURE INCREASED with TEMPERATURE INCREASE as we need a noun here in place of the verb, as denoted by the use of the article THE; articles are used to modify only nouns. INCREASE is a noun while INCREASED is a verb. Hence, 3 is incorrect.
