The Luddites (1811-17) were skilled English textile workers who opposed, not demanded, the introduction of labour-saving machinery that threatened their livelihoods, so statement III is the opposite of their actual position. They did demand a minimum wage (I) and the legal right to form trade unions to present their grievances (II). Hence only I and II are correct.
