Correct option is C

Correct Answer:
(c) Both (III) & (I)
Explanation:
The word "resembles" means to look like or be similar to something in appearance or characteristics (in Hindi: समानता रखना या मेल खाना). It is used to describe likeness or similarity between two entities.
Sentence Analysis:
1. (I) She resembles her father in appearance and in habits.
· Correct: The sentence correctly uses "resembles" to describe a similarity in appearance and habits between the subject and her father.
2. (II) The newly launched car has totally different features so resembles the old model of the car.
· Incorrect: This sentence is contradictory because it states the car has "totally different features" and then says it "resembles" the old model. The correct word here might be "differs" instead of "resembles."
3. (III) A newly discovered planet resembles Earth and life may exist on it.
· Correct: The sentence properly uses "resembles" to indicate that the new planet is similar to Earth in some characteristics.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
· (a) Only (I): Incorrect, as (III) is also correct.
· (b) None of these: Incorrect, as both (I) and (III) are correct.
· (d) Only (III): Incorrect, as (I) is also correct.
· (e) Both (I) & (II): Incorrect, as (II) is incorrect due to its contradiction.
·
Final Answer:
(c) Both (III) & (I) because these sentences correctly use the word "resembles" to describe similarity.
