Hint Machines are used daily in this modern era for almost all tasks. They help us by making our work easier, faster and better. Considering these points we can find the correct answer from the options given in the question.

Complete step by step answer
We use machines in our day to day life to make our life easier. Machines can carry out our tasks in a faster, quicker, and more efficient way. Our phones, laptops, refrigerators, microwaves, etc. are all examples of machines which help us in carrying out various tasks with ease.
Statement (i): Machines help to make us do work better is correct. Machines are used in all kinds of industries to carry out tasks that would take much longer for a human to do. Recent advancements in automation and robotics have made it possible to run entire factories with only automatic machines without the need for any human labour.
Statement (ii): Machines help to do work better is similar to the first statement and is also correct as machines can often help us and we can work together with machines to carry out tasks faster. For eg., Lawn mowing machines can help us in cutting lawn grass faster than cutting it manually.
Statement (iii): Machines help to reduce work is also correct as due to machines, we don’t have to put in as much effort into working as we had to before. For e.g., farming equipment like the tractor and the harvester reduces the manual labour done by the farmers very significantly.
So the correct answer will be option D.

Note
Machines are very useful to us in our day to day life for all kinds of tasks. However, they also have some disadvantages. Devices like phones and laptops can be very distracting. Automation and robotics can also become so much more efficient that people start losing their jobs as machines can do all repetitive tasks much better after a certain point.
