    A Only I Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only II and III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only I and III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Only II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Sanction(noun)- a threatened penalty for disobeying a law or rule. Sanction(verb)- impose a sanction or penalty on. Only II has used the word correctly (as a noun). The correct word in the first sentence would have been 'imposed' as a verb is required at that place. The correct word in the third sentence would have been 'population'; 'sanction' doesn't make any sense there. Option E is the correct answer.
