B Correct answer
Explanation

Statement (ii) is correct because without joinder (conspiracy), there can be no cause of action for conspiracy - the essence of conspiracy is the unlawful agreement. Statement (iii) is correct because conspiracy requires an unlawful purpose - pursuing one's own lawful legal interest cannot constitute conspiracy, regardless of joinder. Statement (i) is incorrect because joinder alone doesn't create conspiracy without an unlawful element.
