Answer 1

Only (i), (ii) and (iv) are correct.

Explanation:

Packet stations are known as ferry ports. Outports are deep-water ports constructed at some distance from the main ports. They support the parent ports by handling large ships that cannot dock at the main port due to their size. A well-known example of this arrangement is Athens and its port, Piraeus, in Greece.
