A systems flowchart is best used to depict the flow of inputs, processes, and outputs within a system, and is most useful when describing a repetitive process like investing money in a pension fund or calculating payroll taxes. Therefore, questions II, IV, and V are the best candidates for systems flowcharts. The other questions (I and III) might be better answered by other types of flowcharts, such as a data flow diagram for question I or a network diagram for question III. So, the correct choice is C, which includes questions II, IV, and V.
