(II) The technology have come a long way, allowing us to communicate instantly with people around the world.
(III) The data analyst created a series of charts to showing the company's sales growth over the past year.

Correct option is D

Let's analyze each sentence and provide strict grammatical explanations:
Sentence (I):
The government is working on measures to reduce the budget deficit, which has significantly increased over the past few years.
This sentence is grammatically correct.
· The subject "government" is singular, and the verb "is working" is correctly conjugated in the present continuous tense.
· The relative pronoun "which" correctly refers to "the budget deficit," and the past perfect tense "has significantly increased" is appropriate for describing the ongoing effect of an action that began in the past.
Sentence (II):
The technology have come a long way, allowing us to communicate instantly with people around the world.
This sentence is grammatically incorrect.
· Error: Subject-verb agreement. "Technology" is a singular noun, but the verb "have" is plural.
· Correction: The verb should be "has" to match the singular subject.
· Corrected sentence: "The technology has come a long way, allowing us to communicate instantly with people around the world."
Sentence (III):
The data analyst created a series of charts to showing the company's sales growth over the past year.
This sentence is grammatically incorrect.
· Error: Incorrect infinitive form. The verb phrase "to showing" is wrong. After "to," the base form of the verb should be used.
· Correction: It should be "to show" instead of "to showing."
· Corrected sentence: "The data analyst created a series of charts to show the company's sales growth over the past year."
Summary of Grammatical Errors and Sentence Structure:
· Sentence (I): Grammatically correct. Proper subject-verb agreement, correct tense, and sentence structure.
· Sentence (II): Incorrect due to subject-verb disagreement. "Technology" (singular) should be followed by "has," not "have."
· Sentence (III): Incorrect due to incorrect infinitive construction. "To show" should be used instead of "to showing."
Correct Answer: (d) Both (II) and (III).
