Solution

The correct option is D I-3, II-2, III-1
Circular wavefronts are in 2-D, water surface waves can be an example.
Spherical wavefronts correspond to diverging in case of light, that is a point source.
Planar wavefronts correspond to parallel rays in case of light, that is a point source infinitely far.
