Explanation:

The grammatically correct and ontextually meaningful sentences are sentence (III) and sentence (IV). However, there are certain grammatical errors in sentences (I) and (II). It is to be noted that ‘fewer’ is only to be used when discussing countable things, while ‘lesser’ is used for singular mass nouns. Therefore, to make sentence (I) correct, replace “lesser” by “fewer”. Moreover, in sentence (II) “whether” is used which indicates a choice between the two. Thus, to correct sentence (II), replace “and” by “or” so as to reflect alternatives. Since, sentence (III) and (IV) are correct, option (c) becomes the most viable answer choice.
