Step 1
The sampling frame is the list of all members or items of the population of interest.
Step 2
The sampling frame should consists of all items/members of the population. If some of the members are missed out in the list, then it would lead to sampling bias. Thus, option (i) is incorrect.
The information in the sampling frame should be 100 % correct and updated because, the sample for the study is taken from the sampling frame. The incorrect information in sampling frame will affect the results of the study. Thus, option (ii) is correct.
In order to obtain an unbiased sample, the list should contain the names of all members only once. Thus, option (iii) is correct.
Therefore, statement (i) is incorrect.
