I and II only

II only

I and III only

I, II and III

The correct answer is

I and II only

Statements I and II are correct: in the Amarakosha's classification of land, Devamatrika denotes rain-fed land (dependent on rainfall for irrigation), and Aprahata denotes fallow or uncultivated land. Statement III is incorrect because Pankila actually refers to marshy or muddy land, not highly fertile land.
