I. Organisms living in oceans, lakes, and rivers face water-related problems.
II. Euryhaline can tolerate a wide range of salinities
III. Stenohaline are restricted to a narrow range of salinities
IV. No freshwater animals cannot live for long in seawater but sea animals can live in freshwater for a long time because of osmotic balance
V. The salt concentration (measured as salinity in parts per thousand), is less than 5 in inland water, 30-35 in the sea, and >100 in some hypersaline lagoons.
(1) All are correct                     

(2) All are false

(3) Only IV is wrong
