A. B. C. D.

C

A skewed distribution is not symmetrical and its mean and median are not equal. While a positively skewed distribution is characterized by many small values and a few extreme values, the opposite is true of negatively skewed distributions. So III is false as far as "all skewed distributions" are concerned.
