Solution

The correct option is D I, II and III
Osmotic pressure is the pressure that has to be applied to a pure solvent to prevent it from passing into a given solution by osmosis. It is often used to express the concentration of the solution. Colligative properties depend on the number and hence, the concentration of solute molecules.
Hence, all the three statements are correct.
