Explanation / Answer
Part 1 Answer - d (I, II, and III) are true statements

Master Scheduel activity drives the MRP, as it is the input for the MRP and the base of MRP is to meet the demand generated by Master schedule activity. The Master schedule activity can be used for future production plan as it helps to give the information of future demands. The information provided by the master Schedule activities can be used for developing the future rough cut capacity planning, as the rough cut capacity planning needs the information of demand which comes from the master scheduler activity.
