**Statement II** says "Almost all workers are self-employed or engaged in unpaid labour." This is **not true** for non-farm informal labour markets. While some workers may be self-employed, many are hired as casual or temporary wage workers too. This description fits *farm/agricultural* labour more closely. **Statement I** is correct — non-farm informal labour markets have indeed grown in recent decades as more people move away from farming to find work in cities and towns. **Statement III** is also correct — disguised employment (where more workers are employed than actually needed, so some contribute very little to output) is prevalent in these markets. Since statements I and III are correct and statement II is wrong, the answer is **Only I and III**. <hr> Hence, **Only I and III** → Statement I is true because non-farm informal labour markets have expanded over the years. Statement III is true because disguised employment is commonly found in these markets. Statement II is false because it is incorrect to say that *almost all* workers are self-employed or do unpaid work in non-farm informal markets. → **correct**
