C Correct answer
Explanation

From I: Length = 6m. From II: Breadth = (2/3)*6 = 4m. Area = 6*4 = 24m² = 240000 cm². From III: Cost of 100 cm² = Rs 45, so cost per cm² = Rs 0.45. Total cost = 240000 * 0.45 = Rs 108000. All three statements are needed: I and II give dimensions, III gives rate. Without any one, the answer cannot be determined.
