A word has been given in the question and used in the sentences below. Identify the statements where the word has been used in a contextually and grammatically correct manner.

The correct option is Both (I) and (II).

Let us analyze the word "CROP" and its usage in each sentence to verify its contextual and grammatical correctness:

1. Sentence (I): "Farmers expect a good crop this season due to timely rainfall and favorable weather conditions."
Here, "crop" is used as a noun meaning a cultivated plant that is grown on a large scale commercially, especially a cereal, fruit, or vegetable (or the harvest/yield of cultivated plants). The sentence makes complete sense grammatically and contextually.

2. Sentence (II): "You should crop the photograph carefully to remove distractions and focus on the main subject."
Here, "crop" is used as a verb meaning to cut off the edges of an image or photograph to frame it better or remove unwanted parts. This usage is common in digital editing and photography, making the sentence grammatically and contextually correct.

3. Sentence (III): "He cropped his friend to attend the meeting without any prior notice."
Here, "cropped" is used incorrectly. The verb "crop" does not mean to ditch, replace, cancel on, or leave behind a person in this context. Therefore, sentence (III) is contextually and grammatically incorrect.

Thus, only statements (I) and (II) use the word "CROP" correctly.
