We've had this question before, but I forgot the conclusion. I told the poster that the term 'collective noun' has more than one meaning. The meaning taken here is, I presume, this one: nouns that describe a group, such as “family,” “orchestra,” and “board.” If so, then I agree with your choice, i and iii. However, that choice is not among the 4 possible answers.
