The correct answer is A. (i) and (iii).
A higher pitch roof is stronger because it has more structural integrity. The steeper the roof, the more weight it can support. However, a higher pitch roof also requires more covering material because it has a larger surface area.
Option (ii) is incorrect because a higher pitch roof is stronger, not weaker.
Option (iii) is correct because a higher pitch roof requires more covering material.
Option (iv) is incorrect because a higher pitch roof requires more covering material, not less.
