Solution

The correct option is B I, II, and III only
The monograph contains complete information on any one taxon. As they contain information about only one taxon, these are not used for identification purpose. Rather, they are used for the purpose of understanding and gaining knowledge about already identified species, genus or any other such taxonomic group.
So, the correct option is 'I, II, and III only'.
