Explanation

Both part (i) and part (ii) have an error with regard to the usage of a comma. In part (i) of the sentence, commas must be placed to set apart the name – Dr. Gerald Edelman. In part (ii), there is no need for a comma after the word much. The correct form is - (i) A Nobel Prize-winning neuroscientist, Dr. Gerald Edelman, has pointed out (ii) that the brain is much more like a process than a thing, (iii) and this process is continually evolving.
