C Correct answer
Explanation

A fact is a statement that is true and can be proven. A fact is true and correct no matter what. An opinion, however, is a statement that holds an element of belief; it tells how someone feels. An opinion is not always true and cannot be proven. Statements I and II are facts as they can be proven. Statement III is an opinion as the word 'can' suggests possibility and hence, forms an opinion. So, option 3 is the correct answer.
