Select the correct statement among the following.

I. Euryhaline can tolerate a wide range of salinity
II. The productivity and distribution of plants are heavily dependent on water
III. Many freshwater animals cannot live for long in seawater but sea animals can live in freshwater for a long time because of osmotic balance
