    Solution

    The highlighted part is incorrect as the adverb 'indefinitely' needs to be used as we need to qualify the action(verb) 'postponed'. II and III are incorrect for the same reason plus the use of an incorrect preposition 'at'. II can make the sentence correct and meaningful. B is the right answer.
