Solution
i, ii & iii
Explanation:
The term "commons" refers to resources that are not owned by anyone and are instead shared by a community.
This could be a "community centre," a "common room," a park, or a river. Similarly, some areas or regions of the world are outside the sovereign jurisdiction of any single state and, as a result, require common governance by the international community. These are referred to as the res communis humanitatis or global commons. The Earth's atmosphere, Antarctica, the ocean floor, and outer space are among them.
