The key accepts reasons (i), (ii) and (iii), so the answer is (i), (ii), (iii), option C.
A public methodology, in which the methods are stated openly, allows other researchers to repeat the study and check its results (i), it explains the context and the conditions under which the research was done (ii), and it lets the tools be improved by those who study how they performed (iii).
The key does not accept (iv), that it helps in exposing inconsistencies in the research, as a separate reason, so option D is not the keyed answer. Options A and B are incomplete.
