i only

ii and iii only

i and iii only

i, ii, and iii

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each statement:

• Statement I: In 1892, Populists aimed to unite poor blacks and whites. Democrats feared this unity as it could challenge their political power, so this is a valid fear.
• Statement II: The fear was about Populist unity, not splitting black - white votes. Democrats' concern was over unity, not division, so this is incorrect.
• Statement III: Democrats were more focused on opposing Populist - led unity than preventing African Americans from voting (their main fear was the Populist threat), so this is incorrect.

Only Statement I is correct.

Answer:

I only
