    D Only III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    I uses "alluring" correctly to describe India as being attractive or appealing to overseas humans (though "overseas humans" could be phrased better). III correctly uses "alluring" to describe people who are irresistibly attractive or inspiring intense feelings. II misuses "alluring," as it doesn't fit the context of describing a "credible" factor in business index ranking. "Alluring" typically refers to attraction or appeal, not credibility. Thus, the correct usage is found in I and III.
