The selected answer is wrong:

..wrong answer!!!...please do make sure u guys correct that... the only true option there is (iii)to wit...>>a metallic surface emits photoelectrons only if the frequency of the incident light is higher than its own characteristics threshold frequency... others are wrong making them the appropriate answer for this particular question *is (are) NOT true about the emission of the photoelectrons from metallic surfaces*.

..and try and stop doing copy and paste without reviewing.

The correct answer is:
**C. i and ii**
Here's the reasoning:
- **i. All metallic surfaces emit the same number of photoelectrons in a given light** is **NOT true**. Different metals have different properties and thresholds for photoelectron emission, so they do not emit the same number of photoelectrons under the same light conditions.
- **ii. Most metallic surfaces emit the same number of photoelectrons in visible and infra-red light** is also **NOT true**. Different metals have different responses to various frequencies of light, particularly in the visible versus infrared spectrum.
- **iii. A metallic surface emits photoelectrons only if the frequency of the incident light is higher than its characteristic threshold frequency** is **true**. This is a fundamental principle of the photoelectric effect.
Thus, **C. i and ii** are the statements that are NOT true.

With my research, the right option is C. The images here are very convincing enough.
