Correct Answer: (iv) All of the above

Explanation:

Separating presentation rules into an external .css file provides several key advantages:

  1. Maintainability & Separation of Concerns (i): HTML structure is decoupled from visual styling, allowing sitewide design changes by editing a single CSS file.
  2. Device Independence & Responsiveness (ii): Enables targeting distinct devices (mobiles, tablets, print) through separate stylesheets or CSS media queries (@media).
  3. Browser Caching & Performance (iii): External CSS files are cached by the browser after the first download, drastically reducing bandwidth consumption, network traffic, and server load on subsequent page requests.

Therefore, (iv) All of the above is the correct option.
