Requirement (I) is necessary for accurate coding and decoding of genetic information, and requirement (II) is necessary for proper adaptation to changing conditions. Requirement (III) is not necessary for genetic information, as many traits coded for by genetic information are not removable following development (e.g. eye color). Therefore, the correct answer is B (I,II).
