Answer 1

Answer:

I and III

as,

large dams can cause loss of biodiversity due to the building of large Reservoirs.

and,  The people living in the land of the reservoir are displaced. Many of them do not get proper compensation (rehabitilation)

Swallowing up money(II) is not applicable here as dams are useful as they provide hydro-electricity and water for irrigation.
