A. Only I
B. Only II
C. Only III
D. Only II and III
E. I, II, and III
ans: C

It looks like whoever wrote the question is using the word system to mean heat engine. Try calculating the efficiency of the described engine.
Another requirement is that there be only one reservoir to supply heat (and no reservoir to remove heat). This is basically the Kelvin statement of the 2nd law.
